Once each year, Earth drifts through the ancient debris trail of Halley's Comet, and tonight that passage reaches its peak in the form of the Eta Aquarids meteor shower. No instrument is needed to witness this — only darkness, patience, and twenty minutes of stillness while the eyes remember how to see. It is a reminder that even a comet last seen in 1986, and not due to return until 2061, never fully leaves us; its remnants burn bright overhead, connecting the present moment to a solar system four billion years in the making.
