Manhattanhenge 2020 - Episode 1

Описание: Since it's unlikely many will be able to venture over to midtown to witness the splendor of this year's ManhattanHenge, here's a little simulation showing the basic idea. On the evenings of May 29th and 30th, the sun will set directly along the east/west axis of the NYC street grid.

This is first in a series of quick simulations that depict this urban-astro event.
