The Walkway over the Hudson introduces its new Starwalk series on Sunday, July 15 from 8:30 through 11 p.m. Participants will view the wonders of the night sky from the Walkway, 212 feet above the Hudson River, viewing the cosmos with telescopes and the naked eye.
Each Starwalk event is scheduled around unique occurrences in the celestial calendar. Volunteers from local astronomical organizations and schools will be on hand to share their knowledge and expertise. Starwalk is free, but registration is recommended. Visit http://walkway.org to learn more. The western entrance to the Walkway is located at 87 Haviland Road in Highland.
