Jupiter

New York Public Library — North Entrance, Bryant Park

📍 About three inches across here — a little wider than the SolarSystem.city wallet card, if you're holding one. Worth stepping inside before you go; it's a gorgeous building whichever direction you're headed next.

At true scale: 3 in (7.7 cm) across

About this place

The gap opens. A quarter mile from the clock and three inches across — the largest thing you will see all walk. This is also where the two Grand Central walks part company: north into Central Park, or west with this one.

While you're here

  • Bryant Park Green space Just outside Jupiter's orbit at this scale. Depending on the season: an outdoor movie, a free concert, or the holiday market.

From here it's west toward Times Square for Saturn — stopping just shy of the square itself keeps the crowds and the costumed characters at a manageable distance.
