Yahoo Sports 'Manhattanhenge' Phenomenon Lights Up New York City
Crowds gathered on the streets of Manhattan in New York on Tuesday, May 30, as a “Manhattanhenge” sunset glowed for a second night.
The popular phenomenon occurs twice a year on two consecutive days, when the sun sets in alignment with the city’s street grid.
This footage shows onlookers on West 42nd street trying to get a good view of the spectacle while bus and taxi drivers honk their horns.
The sunset was forecast to take place again on July 11 and 12. Credit: @ojamoja via Storyful
