Support Us
Sky’s The Limit is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing hands-on learning opportunities for the people of and visitors to the Joshua Tree Gateway Communities. We provide a place where the
honest pursuit of knowledge 
enriches the lives of all willing to participate, whether to view the smallest objects on the Earth, or observe the colossal displays in the sky.​

Sky's The Limit campus is always open to explore

Telescope viewing, the Observatory Dome, and restrooms are only available during public events, but the campus is always open for nature walks, stargazing, and for setting up your own telescope.
 
​If a group or individual is on campus with a telescope or camera, they are doing private observing or photography or are a workshop in session. Please do not disturb them.
 
A volunteer docent is usually on campus Saturday mornings* to set up the solar scope and give Orrery tours. QR codes posted around campus, when scanned with a smartphone, will take you to a text or audio explanation of what you are seeing. 
 
* Because we are all volunteers, occasionally another commitment or personal issue might mean the docent is unavailable.

"What more do you need? A little garden in which to walk, and immensity in which to dream. At one's feet that which can be cultivated and plucked; overhead that which one can study and meditate upon: some flowers on earth and all the stars in the sky. "

From Victor Hugo
Les Misérables
