Classics

34 alignments around the world

Classics are the world's famous light events: the few days a year when the sun or the moon lines up with a street, a monument or a mountain — Manhattanhenge, the solstice sunrise at Newgrange, the sun sitting on the summit of Fuji. Duskbox works out the dates for every year and shows you exactly where to stand.

Dates for 2026–2030, worked out by Duskbox’s own astronomy engine: the sun from NREL’s SPA, the moon topocentric, both with atmospheric refraction.
