Each July, the night sky reminds us that we are passengers on a moving world, orbiting a star among countless others — and occasionally, the universe makes that easy to see. This month, three meteor showers converge in the final days of July, joined by planetary alignments, a Blue Moon, and Earth's own quiet arrival at its farthest point from the Sun. It is an invitation, extended to anyone willing to step outside and look up, to feel the scale of things.
