PC Moment: Opulent hors d’oeuvres, interactive demonstrations and four floors packed with scientific wonder made for a magical mix as the Perot Museum of Nature and Science opened its doors for the annual glittery gala. More than 1,000 guests glowed with excitement as they ventured from floor to floor, posing in the halo light photo station, making glow jewelry and accessories, and feasting under a canopy of stars in the interactive planetarium. The highlight of the evening: a grand unveiling of Ellie May — the museum’s nearly intact Columbian mammoth skeleton.
