On Saturday, Sept. 17, the MSUM Planetarium hosted the first ever wedding under the stars. While the Planetarium is no stranger to special events, this was the first of its kind. The dome was resplendent with a night sky full of stars. Also featured were two particular constellations favored by the bride and groom. The recent technology upgrades made this event especially magical. Congratulations to the bride and groom!
