NYC's final Manhattanhenge sunsets align with grid July 11-12

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

New York City will experience its final Manhattanhenge sunsets of 2026 on July 11th and 12th, offering a unique visual spectacle where the setting sun aligns with the city's grid. The July 11th event will feature the full sun appearing between buildings, while July 12th will show the upper half of the sun. This phenomenon occurs due to Manhattan's street grid being rotated approximately 30 degrees east of true north. Following Manhattanhenge, a partial solar eclipse will be visible in New York City and other parts of the northeastern U.S. and Canada on August 12th. AI
