Photos of the Day... After being transported from the Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia to New York City last April, and arriving at her final home, the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum last month, space shuttle Enterprise is now open to the public. Of course, her current location atop the USS Intrepid is only temporary; museum officials plan to display Enterprise inside a more permanent structure next to the decommissioned aircraft carrier sometime in the future.

In terms of other landmarks that will be worth visiting on another trip to the Big Apple, construction continues on the 1 World Trade Center (1 WTC). It should eventually reach its rooftop height of 1,368 feet next month...with its 408-foot tall antenna spire being installed not too long after (bringing the 1 WTC to a symbolic height of 1,776 feet, assuming this controversy is averted).

Construction continues on the 1 World Trade Center in New York City, as of July 11, 2012.
