Origin: From proper names. Etymons: proper names Manhattan, Stonehenge.

Etymology: < Manhattan, the name of a borough of New York City (see Manhattan n.²) + -henge (in Stonehenge, the name of a megalithic monument in England: see Stonehenge n.), so called because the effect is thought to resemble that of the sun rising in alignment with the central upright stones of Stonehenge at the summer solstice.

A phenomenon in which the sun rises or sets in alignment with the streets that run east to west on the street grid of Manhattan, New York City.The alignments occur at sunset on certain dates before and after the summer solstice (late May and mid July) and at sunrise on certain dates before and after the winter solstice (early December and early January).

2003 N. D. Tyson Email 11 July (O.E.D. Archive) Sunset on Manhattanhenge begins at 8:25 PM, at a cross-street near you.

2005 Northern Territory News (Austral.) 13 July 14/1 The setting sun sinks in perfect alignment with the east-west streets of Manhattan. But because the streets aren't precisely aligned to the compass points, they line up on the setting sun only twice a year—an event known locally as ‘Manhattanhenge’.

2012 Photo District News Sept. 6/1 Why is Manhattanhenge such a big deal that the local media announce it in advance and the Hayden Planetarium offers suggestions for the best viewing spots?
