Photographers aim their cameras as the sun sets through the buildings on 42nd Street in New York's Manhattan borough during a phenomenon known as Manhattanhenge, Wednesday, July 11, 2012. Manhattanhenge, sometimes referred to as the Manhattan Solstice, happens when the setting sun aligns with the east-to-west streets of the main street grid. The term references Stonehenge, at which the sun aligns with the stones on the solstices in England. (AP Photo/Julio Cortez)
Twice a year, the setting sun aligns itself with the east-west grid of streets in Manhattan, allowing the sun to shine down all streets at the same time.
