Each year, the debris trail left by Halley's Comet brushes against Earth's atmosphere, igniting brief streaks of light that humans have watched with wonder for millennia. This week, that ancient encounter reaches its annual peak in the form of the Eta Aquariid meteor shower, offering early risers across the Northern Hemisphere — and especially those in New Jersey — a quiet invitation to step outside before dawn and look up. The display is modest but meaningful, and with no comparable shower arriving until July, this moment carries the particular weight of scarcity.
