Each August, Earth passes through the ancient debris trail of comet Swift-Tuttle, and the sky answers with fire. This year, the Perseid Meteor Shower peaks overnight on August 12th and 13th over Oregon under a new moon — the darkest skies in weeks — offering up to a hundred meteors per hour to anyone willing to step outside and look up. It is one of the oldest recurring spectacles in human memory, a reminder that the cosmos does not require an invitation to make itself known.
