Visitors to Times Square in New York line up to photograph the largely unsuccessful Manhattanhenge sunset, clouds covered the horizon, on Tuesday, May 29, 2018. Twice a year, this year the sun lines up at sunset with the city's grid, lighting up both sides of the street and setting in the middle of the roadways. The event, the name coined by Neil deGrasse Tyson of the Hayden Planetarium, takes place 22 days before and 21 days after the summer solstice because of the 30 degree angle of the city's grid, it is not exactly east-west-north-south.
