    At two times during the year, the setting sun aligns with the Infinite Corridor at MIT. In mid November and in late January, when this occurs, and the atmospheric conditions are right, the light emanating from the sun streams down the entire length — 825 feet — of the corridor. This phenomenon is known as MIThenge.

    The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is an independent, coeducational, privately endowed university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Our mission is to advance knowledge; to educate students in science, engineering, and technology; and to tackle the most pressing problems facing the world today. We are a community of hands-on problem-solvers in love with fundamental science and eager to make the world a better place.

    The MIT YouTube channel features videos about all types of MIT research, including the robot cheetah, LIGO, gravitational waves, mathematics, and bombardier beetles, as well as videos on origami, time capsules, and other aspects of life and culture on the MIT campus. Our goal is to open the doors of MIT and bring the Institute to the world through video.
