Saturn

Fifth Avenue at 52nd Street

📍 About 2.5 inches across — a little narrower than the wallet card you saw at Jupiter. You're roughly in front of the Nike flagship, just past St. Patrick's spires.

At true scale: 2.5 in (6.4 cm) across

About this place

Half a mile out, two and a half inches across. The rings would span about six inches here — wider than your hand.

While you're here

  • Rockefeller Center Worth seeing The tree lighting and the skating rink in winter, the Atlas statue year-round — on the west side of Fifth as you go.
  • St. Patrick's Cathedral Worth seeing Completed in 1879, still holds regular mass, and gives tours of the grounds.
