Each August, Earth drifts through the ancient wake of a comet, and for a few nights the atmosphere becomes a stage for light. This year, the Perseid meteor shower peaks August 11–13, offering up to a hundred meteors per hour to anyone willing to step outside before dawn. The event asks almost nothing of its audience — only darkness, patience, and the willingness to look up at something that has been happening long before anyone thought to name it.

Tourism (local/regional)
Hospitality (accommodations near dark-sky locations)
Retail (binoculars, camping equipment, flashlights)
Minimal direct impact. Consumers may experience modest discretionary spending on viewing equipment (blankets, camping gear, flashlights) and potential travel to dark-sky locations. Some families may increase spending on outdoor recreation and hospitality services in rural areas.
No immediate regulatory implications. Potential long-term consideration: light pollution ordinances in municipalities seeking to preserve dark skies for astronomical tourism and scientific research could affect local development and energy policies.
