NEW YORK - New Yorkers were able to catch a stunning sunset for the second night in a row Monday thanks to the phenomenon dubbed "Manhattanhenge."

The name is a nod to Stonehenge.

The event occurs when the sun aligns with the Manhattan grid on certain streets.

It only happens about four days a year.

If you missed it on Sunday and Monday, don't worry. You'll have another chance in July.
