Le Manhattanhenge est un phénomène astronomique unique qui se produit lorsque le soleil se couche ou se lève en alignement parfait avec le réseau de rues orientées est-ouest de Manhattan, à New York. Ce phénomène se produit généralement deux fois par an, autour des solstices d'été et d'hiver, bien que les dates exactes puissent varier légèrement chaque année.Le terme "Manhattanhenge" est une combinaison de "Manhattan" et "Stonehenge", le célèbre monument préhistorique en Angleterre, où les pierres sont alignées avec les mouvements du soleil. Tout comme les rayons du soleil traversent les formations de Stonehenge lors des solstices, à Manhattan, les rayons du soleil s'alignent parfaitement avec les rues de la ville.Nous en parlons dans cette nouvelle capsule de RMNY ! ------Si vous aimez le podcast, n'hésitez pas à le partager, le noter et à le commenter via Apple Podcasts ou encore Spotify. Tous les liens du podcast sont ici : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/racontemoinewyork  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Hébergé par Ausha.

Welcome to #Millennial, the show whose name can't be spelled without three massive L's! It may have been a total eclipse of the heart in the path of totality, but Laura was underwhelmed by what 85% coverage during the solar eclipse looked like in Atlanta. Would you spend $949 to stay in a Super 8 motel to watch a major event like the eclipse? The moon ain't done slaying yet: the lunar queen is set to get her own timezone! We look at other examples of rare-ish events, and bucket list destinations and adventures! Who wore it better? Manhattanhenge or Andrew's Homehenge? Looks like most millennials have a 50-50 shot of seeing Halley's comet in 2061. Will Andrew re-evaluate his death age again in light of this knowledge? We share our own bucket list destination goals: Balloon fiesta, Devil's Pool at Victoria falls, and the Monarch Butterfly Migration. As 90's kids, it's impossible to not address 'Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,' which reveals the downright abusive environment of Nickelodeon live action shows through the 90's and early 2000s. In response to the popularity of this documentary, a 5th episode ("Breaking The Silence") aired this past weekend - do we feel it added anything to the documentary? And why was it arranged so... weird? What was it like to watch this as Nickelodeon kids ourselves? Does this completely taint our memories of the channel? We hope this week's recommendations inspire you to make things easier for yourself: Take a mental health day (Laura), TravelPro luggage (Pam), and signing up for a Spotify family plan in light of plan prices increasing (Andrew). And in this week's installment of After Dark, available on Patreon and Apple Podcasts: It's AMA time! We take our Patrons' burning questions about the BTS life of podcasting. Do we ever worry about someone we've talked shit on finding their way behind the paywall? Why have Andrew and Laura been saying no to a certain annual event?

On #TheUpdate this Thursday, A New Jersey man has admitted posting a broad online threat that spurred heightened security at synagogues and Jewish schools in the state last year. There's only one more chance this year to take in Manhattanhenge. Wednesday was a bust, with gray, gloomy weather socking in the horizon at sundown, and Thursday could see similar skies. And unionized Hollywood actors on the verge of a strike have agreed to allow a last-minute intervention from federal mediators.

Demand for New York City's free summer school program surpasses its current capacity, hazy skies may get in the way of your Manhattanhenge viewing tonight at 8:12, and the Museum of Art and Design opens a new* exhibit dedicated to pop star Taylor Swift. In other museum news, New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the biggest museums in the world. But critics say it has a big problem: it owns hundreds of works that, at some point in history, were looted. As WNYC's Arun Venugopal reports, the museum is now trying to address the issue. And finally, a Greenpoint coffee shop called Botbar is causing controversy with locals for using robots in replacement of human labor. WNYC's David Furst sits with Eater NY reporter Luke Fortney who has been covering the story.

Nuestro amigo Carlos publica estos días la “Guía fotográfica de Nueva York” y, como no podía ser de otra manera, tenía que pasar por el podcast para hablarnos de ella. En este programa nos cuenta cosas de interés como cuál es la mejor época del año o eventos tan simbólicos como el Manhattanhenge. También abordamos temas como qué material llevar para no llevar ni de más ni de menos, desde donde fotografiar la luna llena con la Estatua de la Libertad o los mágicos atardeceres o amaneceres que ofrece la ciudad de Nueva York. Otro tema que tratamos tanto en el podcast como en la guía son consejos en caso de que quieras subir a los miradores (lo harás) y también afrontamos los mejores skylines de la ciudad: Hoboken, Staten Island, Brookyn, Queens y Mahattan. No podemos obviar el tema de la seguridad de la ciudad de Nueva York así como qué hacer dentro de Central Park. Interesante, ¿verdad? Pues no dejes de entrar en libros.com para reservar tu guía fotográfica y asimismo te aconsejo que sigas a Carlos en Twitter con su usuario @chocotuits Este programa está patrocinado por Zyro, creador de páginas web para fotógrafos extremadamente rápidas y sencillas de hacer.

HUESOS PODRÍAN SER DE EMANUELA ORLANDI. La misteriosa desaparición en 1983 de la hija quinceañera de un empleado de la Santa Sede tomó un nuevo giro con las excavaciones de los últimos días. En un cementerio de Ciudad del Vaticano descubrieron dos osarios debajo de una boca de tormenta que se abrirán formalmente la semana próxima. El vocero vaticano Alessandro Gisotti que dijo que inmediatamente se selló la zona y se la abrirá el 20 de julio en presencia de peritos forenses. Emanuela Orlandi desapareció en 1983 tras salir del apartamento de su familia en la Ciudad del Vaticano. Iba a una clase de música en Roma. Su padre era un empleado laico de la Santa Sede. A lo largo de los años se ha vinculado su caso con toda clase de sucesos, desde una conspiración para asesinar al papa Juan Pablo II hasta el escándalo financiero del banco del Vaticano y el hampa romana. RT CASO EPSTEIN. El administrador Jeffrey Epstein fue considerado una vez tan rico y poderoso que logró eludir los cargos federales cuando se declaró culpable de un cargo de prostitución estatal en 2008. Ahora enfrenta cargos de tráfico sexual en Nueva York (donde posee una mansión de $ 77 millones) , y la indulgencia de su oración anterior fue cuestionada. Alexander Acosta, envuelto en el furor, dijo el viernes que dimitiría como secretario de trabajo después de un escándalo por el acuerdo que declaró con Epstein hace más de 10 años, cuando era fiscal en Miami. Se espera que la búsqueda de su reemplazo comience esta semana. CNN   IMPUESTOS A LAS GIGANTES DIGITALES. El gobierno francés aprobó una legislación el jueves de la semana pasada para imponer impuestos a Facebook, Google, Amazon y otros gigantes digitales que se benefician de sus negocios en Francia pero que tienen su sede en los Estados Unidos. Es el primer impuesto de este tipo, pero otros países europeos pronto pueden seguir su ejemplo. También es un disparo a la Casa Blanca, que afirma que el impuesto discrimina a las empresas estadounidenses. El gobierno de Trump advirtió a Francia que lucharía contra la nueva medida, posiblemente con su arma favorita: los aranceles. CNN   RUSIA ENVÍA TELESCOPIO ESPACIAL. Un cohete ruso Proton-M ha entregado con éxito un telescopio espacial de vanguardia en órbita el sábado después de días de retrasos en el lanzamiento, dijo una agencia espacial rusa. Roscosmos dijo que el telescopio, llamado Spektr-RG, llegará a su posición designada en tres meses, convirtiéndose en la primera agencia espacial rusa en operar más allá de la órbita de la Tierra desde la era soviética. El telescopio tiene como objetivo realizar un estudio completo de rayos X del cielo para 2025, el primer telescopio espacial que lo hace. El logro ruso viene cuando la agencia espacial estadounidense, NASA, celebra el 50 aniversario del aterrizaje lunar del Apolo 11 el 20 de julio de 1969. XINHUA NET | DW   LOS CAZAFANTASMAS. La próxima película de Ghostbusters que compartirá universo con las primeras dos cintas ochenteras ya está tomando forma y lo sabemos gracias a que su director Jason Reitman compartió en sus redes sociales la primera fotografía desde el set de rodaje que da fe al inicio de la producción. La fotografía reúne los rostros de Mckenna Grace (Capitana Marvel; Annabelle 3: Viene a casa), Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things; It), al director Jason Reitman y por su puesto a su padre Ivan Reitman quien estuvo a cargo de las cintas originales de los Cazafantasmas de 1984 y 1989. HOBBY CONSOLAS   CUMBRE DE MEDIOS SOCIALES CON TRUMP. El presidente Donald Trump llevará a cabo una cumbre de medios sociales en la Casa Blanca esta semana.  El jueves, el presidente reunirá a organizaciones, figuras y legisladores conservadores para lo que un portavoz de la Casa Blanca describió a Associated Press como una reunión de "líderes digitales para una conversación sólida sobre las oportunidades y los desafíos del entorno en línea de hoy". La lista de asistentes son representantes de los “líderes digitales” más grandes en tecnología hoy en día: Google, Facebook y Twitter no fueron invitados. AP   APAGÓN EN NUEVA YORK. Un verdadero caos provocó un apagón en Nueva York, donde 72 mil habitantes estuvieron en la oscuridad, el metro de Manhattan dejó de funcionar y muchas personas quedaron atrapadas en ascensores de rascacielos, incluso un show de la cantante Jennifer López fue evacuado. El hecho ocurrió en una de las noches más concurridas de lo habitual en el corazón de Nueva York, porque el 13 de julio se celebra el espectáculo Manhattanhenge, nombre que se le da al solscticio de Manhattan. El último gran apagón se remonta a agosto de 2003: afectó parte del centro de la ciudad y la parte sur de Manhattan, dejando el Palacio de cristal de Naciones Unidas y Wall Street en la oscuridad también.  NYT SIGUE LA TENSIÓN EN CHINA.

Los manifestantes no bajan la presión. Esta es la quinta semana consecutiva de grandes manifestaciones contra el gobierno local apoyado por China. INFOBAE SIR NOVAK DJOKOVIC. El serbio Novak Djokovic, número 1 del mundo, revalidó su título en Wimbledon al vencer al suizo Roger Federer (3) en la final de la edición número 133 del tercer torneo de Grand Slam de la temporada. Djokovic, de 32 años, se impuso al tenista helvético (37) con parciales de 7-6 (7/5), 1-6, 7-6 (7/4), 4-6 y 13-12 (9/7) al cabo de casi cinco horas de juego. El serbio, que este año también se coronó en el Abierto de Australia, conquistó su decimosexto título de un torneo "Major", el quinto en el All England Club de Londres. AS VICTORIA Y RÉCORD DE HAMILTON. El inglés Lewis Hamilton, campeón defensor, ganó el Gran Premio de Fórmula 1 de Gran Bretaña. Amplió  así su ventaja al tope de la temporada sobre su compañero finlandés de Mercedes, Valtteri Bottas, segundo en Silverstone. Hamilton conquistó el GP de Gran Bretaña por sexta vez y se convirtió en el piloto con más victorias en Silverstone, superando por una al inglés Jim Clark y al francés Alain Prost. EL ECONOMISTA   OZUNA Y ANITTA JUNTOS. Ozuna es el reguetonero actual más potente. Anitta se ha convirtió en la Reina de Brasil y en una de las mujeres más poderosas de la industria de la música latina. Se juntaron para el tema Muito Calor, a ritmo de reguetón y moombath.

The Subway Emergency Brake Saboteur 72 years ago on May 29, 1947 — United Flight 521 crashes during takeoff from LaGuardia Airport Airbnb and New York City Reach a Truce on Home-Sharing Data The city's number of measles cases have flattened out in data this week showing just 12 new cases since May 20th and 54 new cases in the month of May. This brings the total number of cases observed during the current outbreak to 535 within the city and 940 cases nationwide in 2019. As of May 24, there have been 122 summonses issued to individuals for failing to comply with the city health commissioner's public health emergency plan introduced in April, which required everyone within affected zip codes to show proof of vaccination. Although new cases have been seen in Sunset Park outside the initial Williamsburg cluster, the health commissioner is confident that the high vaccination rates in Sunset Park will prevent the disease from spreading. Measles is a highly contagious disease that is spread through the air as sick individuals cough or sneeze. The measles vaccination is included in MMR shots, standing for measles, mumps, and rubella, that contain a specially-weakened form of the virus that trains the body's immune system on how to defend against that virus in the future. For information on where to obtain a measles vaccination, call 311 or view information from the Department of Health at nyc.gov/doh.
