A rare celestial alignment known as “Californiahenge” occurs only twice a year, creating a striking visual spectacle as the sun rises directly over the Bay Bridge.
This phenomenon, reported by Yonhap News, is characterized by the precise positioning of the sunrise in relation to the bridge’s structure, a sight that is only visible on two specific occasions annually.
The Phenomenon of Californiahenge
The event, dubbed “Californiahenge,” refers to the moment the sunrise aligns with the Bay Bridge. Due to the specific geographic and architectural alignment required for this occurrence, the window of opportunity for viewing the event is limited to just two dates per year.
