Hundreds of people filled the sidewalks and streets of Midtown to capture the Manhattanhenge as the sun set over New York City on May 30.

Every year, around the summer solstice, the setting sun in New York City aligns perfectly with the Manhattan street grid resulting in the sun being framed between the city’s tall buildings. The phenomenon rallies thousands of New Yorkers and visitors around the city, their phones and camera pointed to the sky. Credit: A Random Minute via Storyful
