7:45 (Dusk)-9:00 p.m. ~ Space Walk! (self-guided)
SpaceWalk! is an after dark immersive visual art installation designed to convey the true scale of our solar system, both in terms of the size of the planets and their distances from the sun. Following a linear path spanning 3/4 of a mile and at a scale of 3.5 Billion:1, this walkable installation replicates the vastness of space in a tangible way. Beginning at the sun, a hand-painted globe filled with 50 pulsing LED lights intended to emulate solar activity, explorers continue along the path visiting each planet as they travel further out from the sun. The miniature planets are hand-painted in realistic detail with blacklight acrylic and lit with solar powered UV lights after dusk. SpaceWalk! intends to be the most realistic to-scale outdoor model of our solar system in the world and lives along the Mill Creek Greenway trail at Salway park, in Cincinnati, OH. It was created in 2016 by amateur astronomer Josiah Wolff. Start the walk from “The Sun” at 4520 Spring Grove Avenue (north parking lot of Salway Park). This is a self-guided tour.
