Stonehenge is back in the spotlight as new theories reframe its purpose and era. Ancient monument on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, built circa 3000–2000 BCE.
The phenomenon known as Manhattanhenge has reappeared this week, with the setting sun aligning with Manhattan’s east–west streets as crowds gather to watch from iconic viewing spots. The event is not tied to the solstice but occurs about three weeks before and after it, offering dramatic views of sunlit skyscrapers along the city’s grid.
