On a warm Cabo evening the Pacific wind carries salt and the low hum of distant traffic while the sky opens overhead — a wide, black canvas freckled with light. Participants gather on a beachfront or hillside; a scientist-guide adjusts a telescope and points out the moon’s craters while planets burn steady like small lanterns. The darkness here rewards the observer: the Baja peninsula’s dry air and relatively low humidity often yield crisp views of star clusters and nebulas.
