Each August, Earth passes through the debris trail left by Comet Swift-Tuttle, and the sky above Canada fills with light — a reminder that we inhabit a solar system still alive with motion and consequence. This year, the Perseid meteor shower peaks on the nights of August 12 and 13, when a new moon clears the stage and patient observers in dark, unhurried places may witness up to 50 meteors per hour. It is one of those rare occasions when the cosmos asks very little of us — only that we step away from our own brightness long enough to see.

Consumers may increase spending on travel to Dark Sky preserves, accommodations, and astronomy-related equipment during peak viewing dates. Minimal impact on household budgets as the event is free to observe.
