Once each year, Earth drifts through the scattered remnants of an ancient comet, and next week that passage reaches its peak — a meteor shower so temperamental that even seasoned astronomers cannot say whether it will blaze or barely whisper. Unlike the reliable celestial calendars we have grown accustomed to, this event resists prediction, reminding us that the cosmos still holds surprises for those willing to look up. The narrow window of opportunity asks something simple of us: show up, be present, and accept whatever the sky chooses to offer.
