MIT Henge!!

late post but ya girl be ~~fashionably late~~

(jk she’s just late but she would like to think that she is fashionable)

FUN FACT so every year, once in mid november ish and once at the end of january, the fact that mit has this really long straight main hallway becomes REALLY REALLY good for reasons other than minimizing the need to walk outside in 30 degree weather and the fact that “the infinite” sounds really cool

on these days, the setting sun lines up with the infinite corridor and the super reflective floors and ceilings light up in pretty red/orangey colors and it is SUPER pretty!!

Twice a year, in January and November, the setting sun aligns perfectly with MIT’s 825-foot-long Infinite Corridor.

Planetary scientist Richard Binzel describes MIThenge as “a major cultural moment on campus when the heavens and MIT seem to align.”

Twice a year, the sun sets at an angle that runs directly down MIT's Infinite Corridor in a phenomenon called ‪MIThenge‬.
