The phenomenon of the setting sun between the two skyscrapers, also known as Chicagohenge, happens twice a year during the spring and autumn equinoxes. The dates might differ slightly every year, so it is important to follow the news. Photographers say that the visual effect happens ±3 days around the equinox dates of March 21 and September 21.
