【大纪元2016年07月12日讯】“曼哈顿悬日”（Manhattanhenge，又称曼哈顿巨石阵）是纽约市标志性的景观，每年5月和7月出现两次。5月29日和30日是今年第一及第二次，很多纽约市民和游客都未能如愿看到壮观景象，7月11日及12日则是今年的第三和第四次悬日，为了拍摄难得一见的悬日画面，许多民众及摄影师站在车水马龙的曼哈顿街头抢拍。
由于曼哈顿街道是东西南北棋牌式排列，曼哈顿悬日出现的时候，太阳刚好就从马路中间落下，过程不会被高楼或建筑物挡住。此一特殊的景象是美国天文学家泰森在2002年发现的，由于跟英国巨石阵有异曲同工之妙，泰森也将曼哈顿悬日命名为“曼哈顿巨石阵”(Manhattanhenge)。
