Stop on this walk

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. Jupiter is a quarter mile from the clock and three inches across — the biggest thing you'll see all walk, and the first stop that's a walk rather than a few steps.

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.

Backtrack to Fifth Avenue at the library's corner and head north. Saturn sits just past St. Patrick's Cathedral, more or less in front of the Nike flagship.
