The Rise of Manhattanhenge is an insightful documentary that explores the incredible phenomenon of Manhattanhenge: the spectacular alignment between New York City’s street grid and the setting sun, which occurs twice each year. Through a series of interviews with urban designers, astronomers, and the one who uncovered this phenomenon, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, viewers are granted an intimate look at how human ingenuity has crafted a way to interact with something seemingly so far beyond our understanding. The universe.
