Planetarium features Stars on Thursdays

The MSUM Planetarium is featuring Red River Skies: Catch a Falling Star on Thursdays at 7 p.m. Aug. 5-19.

The summer is one of the best times of the year to catch a “falling star.” There are several meteor showers that occur during July and August. But you don’t need an umbrella to observe them! Come and learn more about these fascinating objects. Perhaps you will even get to hold a real “shooting star!

General admission is $3; children 12 and under, senior citizens and Tri-College students are $1.50. The Planetarium is located in Bridges Hall 167 at 11th Street and 8th Avenue South on the MSUM campus. For more information, call 218.477.2920 or visit www.mnstate.edu/regsci
