The Skylight at The Oculus

The structure's orientation serves as a lasting reminder of the attacks of September 11, 2001.
It is in alignment with the sun’s solar angles on each September 11, from 8:46 am, when the first plane struck, until 10:28 am, when the second tower collapsed.
Its central skylight fits this alignment and washes the Oculus floor with a beam of light.
