Each summer, Earth passes through ancient trails of comet debris, and for two weeks this July and August, that passage becomes visible to anyone willing to step away from the glow of human civilization. Three meteor showers — the Southern Delta Aquariids, the Alpha Capricornids, and the Perseids — arrive in succession, each with its own temperament, culminating in a display of up to 100 meteors per hour on the night of August 11. It is a reminder that the sky has always been generous to those who seek darkness and patience.
