Each spring, Earth drifts through the ancient debris trail of Halley's Comet, and in that passage, something quietly extraordinary happens: fragments of a visitor last seen in 1986 burn bright across our skies. This year's Eta Aquarids meteor shower peaks in the early hours of May 5, offering anyone willing to step outside before dawn a direct encounter with deep time — no instruments required, only darkness and patience.
