Each August, Earth passes through the ancient debris trail of comet Swift-Tuttle, and for a few nights the sky above us becomes a theater of light. This year, the Perseid meteor shower reaches its peak between August 11 and 13, offering those willing to leave the city behind a rare chance to witness up to 100 shooting stars per hour. It is one of those moments when the cosmos asks very little of us — only darkness, patience, and the willingness to look up.
