New Yorkers were wowed on Wednesday by a sunset that was perfectly framed by skyscrapers, thanks to an urban astronomical phenomenon known as Manhattanhenge.
美国纽约当地周三晚,出现“曼哈顿悬日”这一城市天文现象:落日完美地镶嵌在摩天大厦之间,引来纽约人惊叹不已。
The same planetary tilt that determines the seasons also dictates exactly where the sun will go down each evening — and because of the way that Manhattan's dominant street grid is laid out, killer sunsets are potentially visible from some of the borough's best-known east-west streets in late May and mid-July.
地球自转轴倾斜,造成季节更替,也决定了每晚太阳下落的位置。由于曼哈顿主街区的网格分布,每年五月下旬和七月中旬,人们可以去往该地区最著名的东西走向的街道,观看令人叹为观止的日落美景。
Tuesday's ceremony was rained out, but the skies were clear enough on Wednesday to make for some beautiful postings on photo-sharing sites such as Instagram and Twitter, Flickr and Facebook.
由于周二下雨,悬日美景并未出现。但周三天气晴朗,足以让人们拍摄大量美照,发布在诸如推特、脸书、Instagram和Flickr等照片共享网站上。
Doing a search for the hashtag #Manhattanhenge on Twitter will bring up a nice selection — including Edgar Gonzalez's view from 34th Street, which you see above.
在推特网上搜寻带有“#Manhattanhenge”的标签,就能看到大量悬日美图,包括上面那张足球运动员埃德加·冈萨雷斯在第34大街的拍摄的照片。
Another picture from Gonzalez shows the scene just before Manhattanhenge reached its climax at 8:15 p.m. ET. For better or worse, sunset-watching crowds have become a big part of the phenomenon. Why is Manhattanhenge such a big deal for New Yorkers? One reason may be that urban residents are starved for cosmic wonders.
冈萨雷斯的另一张照片拍摄于美国东部时间下午8点15分、曼哈顿悬日高潮到达之前的景象。不管怎样,观看落日的人群也成了悬日景象的一部分。为什么纽约人这么着迷于曼哈顿悬日呢?原因之一可能是城市居民见到的天象奇观太少了。
