Well, it went a lot better than Tuesday night, but last night's Manhattanhenge 2.0 didn't go off without a hitch—the sun was obscured by clouds in certain parts of the city right at the climactic moment, so although photographers were lined up and ready, many weren't able to get the full Manhattanhenge effect. As quiggyt4 put it, it was more of a "PartlyCloudyHenge." But there were some winners, as you can see in the photos above. Your next chance to catch Manhattanhenge will come on July 11th and July 12th.
