Each May, Earth drifts through the ancient trail of Halley's Comet, and the sky briefly remembers something that will not return in most living lifetimes. This weekend, the Eta Aquarids meteor shower reaches its peak, inviting those willing to sit with the dark and the quiet to witness debris from a comet last seen in 1986 burning away in silence overhead. It is a reminder that the cosmos keeps its own calendar, indifferent to cloud cover and moonlight, generous to those who simply show up.
