Winter annuals at the observatory have been growing since the October rain that dumped at least 1½ inches over Joshua Tree National Park and the Morongo Basin. Now they are beginning to bloom.
It can be fun to identify the wildflowers that begin blooming earliest, and then watch as the others come along. Right now, brown-eyed evening primrose, pincushion, coreopsis, dandelion and poppies are prominent. Wallace’s wooly daises, woody bottle washers, forget-me-nots, whispering bells, lacy phacelia and chicory are some of the others. Canterbury bells, desert star, purple mat and silky dalea are other beauties.

Mars and Clusters
Sky’s The Limit Observatory and Nature Center invites stargazers to tour the desert night sky on Saturday, March 23. This free public event will start around 8:00 pm and last approximately 2 hours. The Observatory is at 9697 Utah Trail in Twentynine Palms, just outside the main (north) entrance to Joshua Tree National Park.
The faint constellation of Cancer is located to the east of Gemini. It is the only constellation whose brightest stars are fainter than a Messier object within its boundaries. M44, called the Beehive cluster, contains many third magnitude stars and is easily seen with the naked eye. It is 515 light-years away. Just below and to the east you will find M67, called the King Cobra Cluster, which is 2,600 light-years distant and one of the oldest open clusters known at 4.5 billion years old. Sunset 6:58 pm. Prominent constellations are Taurus (The Bull), Orion (The Hunter), Canis Major (The Large dog), Gemini (The Twins), and Cancer (The Crab).
Volunteers will set up a variety of kinds and sizes of telescopes on the winding sidewalks, and guests are welcome to use them or may bring their own binoculars and scopes as well.
The presentation is very casual, so come at any time and leave when you wish. Bring a red flashlight to preserve night vision. Dress for unpredictable desert weather and bring snacks, water bottles, and chairs.
Please be aware that white headlights severely disturb viewing and use only parking lights as you approach the dome. Let your eyes adjust to the dark before you drive into the parking area.
There are no overnight stays and NO CAMPING anywhere on the Observatory and Nature Center property. No pets, no smoking or alcohol allowed, and visitors must carry out all trash. Adults must accompany and take responsibility for the safety and behavior of children under 16.
The seasonal sky is very unpredictable, and a viewing event may have to be delayed, rescheduled, or cancelled due to cloudiness, rain, or excessive wind. Check @skysthelmit29 or follow @STL29Palms to learn the latest status of an event or call Ray at 760-365-7897.

Beginning in a classroom setting with a one-hour overview of basic astronomy topics, including telescopes and their use, the group will then make the short trip up Utah Trail to Sky’s The Limit to experience the campus under the stars and get some “hands-on” experience with a variety of telescopes. The outdoor session is open ended; participants may leave when they need to, and Dean will be happy to continue discussing telescopes or other astronomy topics and looking at the night sky as long as people are interested and not too cold!
Participants will receive a packet of information including a copy of the text used during the classroom session, a star chart for each month of the year, a Moon map, and a Celestron brochure entitled, “How To Buy Your First Telescope.”
Completing this course qualifies an individual to become a volunteer docent who will be trained to use Sky’s The Limit telescopes during Star Parties.
