Each May, Earth drifts through the ancient trail of Halley's Comet, and the sky responds with fire. The Eta Aquarids meteor shower, peaking the nights of May 6th and 7th, offers those willing to seek darkness and patience a glimpse of cosmic debris traveling at 65 kilometers per second — fragments of a visitor that last passed by in 1986 and will not return until 2061. It is one of those quiet reminders that the universe moves through us even as we move through it.

Tourism (minor - dark sky destinations)
Hospitality (minor - accommodation near viewing sites)
Science/Education (minimal - public engagement)
Consumers experience no direct economic cost or benefit. Free recreational activity may marginally increase foot traffic to parks, beaches, and dark-sky locations, potentially benefiting local food/beverage vendors. No household purchasing pressure or financial implications.
No regulatory or policy response required. Event is purely astronomical and non-commercial. Potential minor consideration for light pollution management in urban planning, but no immediate policy action needed.
