Abstract

(Abstract only) The site of the late World Trade Center in New York is under development. The new World Trade Center, although itself a substantial project, differs significantly from the late one. One feature is to dedicate a section in the campus where the Sun shines during the memorial hours, 08:46 through 10:29 EDST, on every September 11th. This astronomy feature is the “Wedge of Light.” But will it work? Is there a true “wedge of light” at Ground Zero?
