Overview
- Friday’s anticipated view disappeared behind cloud cover despite crowds lining east–west corridors near Millennium Park.
- NBC 5 meteorologist Kevin Jeanes projects the strongest near-term opportunity at sunset on Saturday, with Sunday looking mostly cloudy.
- Additional viewing windows are expected Monday at both sunrise and sunset, offering make-up chances for those who missed earlier attempts.
- Chicagohenge occurs at the equinoxes when the sun aligns with Chicago’s east–west street grid, a moment the Adler Planetarium describes as nature and architecture in harmony.
- Photographers treat the gathering as a communal ritual, often using sun-tracking apps to time shots around sunrise just after 6:45 a.m. and sunset a few minutes after 7 p.m.
