Sky’s the Limit Observatory and Nature Center invites stargazers to tour the desert night sky this Saturday. This free public event will start at around 8 p.m. and lasts about two hours. This week’s most prominent constellations will be the Bee Hive Cluster and the King Cobra Cluster, which is one of the oldest open clusters known at 4.5 billion years old. Other prominent constellations on display will be: Taurus (The Bull), Orion (The Hunter), Canis Major (The Large Dog), Gemini (The Twins), and Cancer (The Crab). The Center reminds participants that white headlights severely disturb viewing, so please use parking lights as you approach the dome. Sky’s the Limit is located on Utah Trail, just north of the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park.
