Once a year, Earth drifts through the ancient trail of Halley's Comet, and the debris left behind by that wandering traveler burns briefly and brilliantly in our atmosphere. This October 21st and 22nd, Singaporeans need only find a dark patch of sky and look upward to witness 10 to 20 meteors per hour — a reminder that the cosmos occasionally asks nothing more of us than our attention. In a city defined by its luminous skyline, the challenge is less about the heavens and more about finding the darkness that lets them speak.
