It struck Tyson, a native New Yorker, that the setting sun framed by Manhattan’s high-rises could be compared to the sun’s rays striking the center of the Stonehenge circle on the solstice.Unlike the Neolithic Stonehenge builders, the planners who laid out Manhattan did not mean to channel the sun.
