🌇 Twice a year, New York City transforms into a giant urban observatory. The setting sun aligns perfectly with Manhattan’s east-west streets, creating a breathtaking corridor of golden light between the skyscrapers. This rare and beautiful phenomenon is called Manhattanhenge, and it’s happening this weekend.

In this episode of Wonders in the Sky, we dive into the fascinating science and history behind Manhattanhenge. Learn why this alignment happens, how Earth’s tilt and orbit make it possible, and why even the busiest city in the world pauses to watch.
