It's the first day of the Minnesota State Fair, and the new Princess Kay of the Milky Way will have her likeness carved in butter.

There's a rare "black moon" event happening this weekend, and even though you won't be able to see the moon, it will make for a great chance to see one of the night sky's most amazing sights.

This weekend's rare 'Black Moon' phase offers a unique opportunity to observe star clusters and stellar alignments in the Milky Way.

Minnesota's dairy industry crowned its Princess Kay, a Wright County native, at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. A Stearns County native is runner up.

As the winner, Malorie Thorson will be the first to have her likeness sculpted out of butter at the Minnesota State Fair.
