Neil deGrasse Tyson offers us some viewing tips:</p> <blockquote> <p>For best effect, position yourself as far east in Manhattan as possible. But ensure that when you look west across the avenues you can still see New Jersey. Clear cross streets include 14th, 23rd, 34th. 42nd, 57th, and several streets adjacent to them. The Empire State building and the Chrysler building render 34th street and 42nd streets especially striking vistas.</p> </blockquote> <p>Part one of the &#39;henge starts on <strong>Wednesday, May 29th @ 8:12pm</strong> with a half sun setting on the grid. The full sun sets on the grid the day after, <strong>Thursday, May 30th @ 8:12pm</strong>.</p> <p>Part two occurs a little later this summer, after an equal amount of days have passed <em>after</em> the equinox. Those dates are <strong>Friday, July 12th @ 8:21pm</strong> with the full sun setting on the grid. The last chance to see Manhattanhenge this year is on the day after, <strong>Saturday, July 13th @ 8:20pm</strong> with a half-sun.</p> </section> <section> <p> <small><em>The post <a href="https://viewing.nyc/here-are-the-four-days-you-can-catch-manhattanhenge-in-summer-2019-93f51ef6-cf99-4f3b-9c76-ec76447e413e/">Here Are the Four Days You Can Catch Manhattanhenge in Summer 2019</a> appeared first on <a href="https://viewing.nyc/">Viewing NYC</a></em></small> </p> </section> </div> </article>
