Each May, Earth passes through the ancient trail of Halley's Comet, and the sky responds with light. The Eta Aquarids meteor shower, peaking around May 5th, is not merely a seasonal spectacle — it is a recurring encounter with debris that has orbited the sun since before recorded history. For those willing to rise before dawn, especially in the Southern Hemisphere, the darkness offers a quiet reminder that humanity shares its skies with forces far older than itself.
