Poughkeepsie Journal: NASA astronaut coming to Walkway over the Hudson in September for Starwalk series

A NASA astronaut is set to come to the Walkway Over the Hudson State Park on Sept. 7 as part of the nonprofit’s Starwalk series.

The educational series gives children and adults alike an opportunity to take in the “staggering horizon-to-horizon view of the night sky” and learn about the stars, according to a press release from U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer. The senator came to the Ulster County entrance to the walkway on July 3 to detail his push for a NASA astronaut to attend a Starwalk event.
