New York: People in New York gathered to witness the grand Manhattanhenge spectacle in the city on Tuesday.


The city's famous grid system framed the setting sun, casting a warm glow over the concrete jungle, reports BBC.

A large number of people had gathered to witness the moment and capture the scene on their mobile phones.

Manhattanhenge, also inaccurately called the Manhattan Solstice, is an event during which the setting sun or the rising sun is aligned with the east–west streets of the main street grid of Manhattan, New York City.

Can it be seen once again this year?

The view will next be seen in July.

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson first used the term Manhattanhenge in 1997, inspired by its likeness to Stonehenge, where the sun aligns with concentric circles of vertical stones on each of the solstices, reports BBC.

Where can the view be next seen?

Viewers above 14th Street and below 155th Street can witness the grand spectacle in July when it happens again.
