Under ideal conditions, the limit is about 6m. That's how the "m" was originally defined - 1m for the brightest stars, 6m for the faintest that could be seen with the naked eye. (However, with the modern definition, the brightest stars have an apparent magnitude of less than 1m - even negative magnitudes.)

Why say skies the limit when there are footprints on the moon?

The phrase "skies the limit" is a metaphorical expression to encourage limitless possibilities. Referencing footprints on the moon highlights past achievements in space exploration and challenges the idea that the sky is the ultimate boundary. It suggests that humans have already surpassed it by landing on the moon, showing that there are still greater heights to reach.

uranus, though it can be barely seen from the naked eye.Neptune is too dim to see with the naked eye, but people with good eyes who know where to look can spot Uranus on a clear dark night (at its brightest it has an apparent magnitude of around 5.5).Saturn.Uranus should be visible for those with exceptional eyesight in areas with exceptionally dark skies as its maximum apparent magnitude is 5.32 and the faintest objects are those with apparent brightness around 7. Neptune never geta brighter than 7.78.

Do you spell the word skies or sky's?

Both are correct, but the meaning is not the same.-- The word skies is the plural of sky (usually for effect, e.g. the dark skies above the valley).-- The word sky's is a possessive with 's at the end (e.g. the sky's deep blue color).*The apostrophe form can be used, as in speech, to mean (the) sky is (e.g. the sky's the limit, or I can see that the sky's cloudy today)
