Take some time to enjoy the desert night sky tonight at Sky’s the Limit Observatory and Nature Center. A variety of telescopes will be available for guests to view the incredible cosmic sights. Here’s managing editor Tami Roleff with the celestial details…
Have a chance to see five solar system objects in one night. Four planets; Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars will all be easily visible. The waxing gibbous Moon, with many craters, mountain ranges and valleys visible on the lunar landscape, will also provide a spectacular sight in a telescope. Prominent constellations are Scorpius, Sagittarius, and Cygnus. The star party at Sky’s the Limit Observatory and Nature Center starts at 8 p.m. Sky’s the Limit Observatory is located just north of the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park on Utah Trail.
