Sky’s the Limit Observatory and Nature Center invites stargazers to tour the desert night sky this Saturday night. With your invitation, here’s Rebecca Havely…
Open clusters are groups of stars that were recently formed out of hydrogen gas clouds. Many fine open clusters may be found in the night sky this Saturday, March 2, as well as the planet Mars and several constellations at the Sky’s the Limit Star Party. You’re invited to use their telescopes or bring your own. The casual event begins around 7 p.m. and lasts about two hours, so come when you can and leave when you want. Please use only parking lights, not headlights as you approach the dome, located at 9697 Utah Trail in Twentynine Palms, just outside the main entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. Dress for unpredictable desert weather and bring a red flashlight if you have it plus snacks, water bottles, and chairs.
