Stop on this walk
Venus
St. Paul's Chapel Churchyard
📍 The north lawn, on the Broadway side. The gate on Vesey Street is the way in if you want to stand among the stones; the railing works just as well and the light is better.
At true scale: 1.8 in (4.5 cm) across
About this place
1.78 inches, just over a quarter mile out. Venus is very nearly Earth's twin in size — hold this one and the next in mind together, because you will not see two planets this close in scale again.
