The Eta Aquariid meteor shower peaks on the night of May 5-6, but strong moonlight will sharply reduce visible rates during this year’s maximum. Under ideal dark skies, the shower can produce up to about 50 meteors per hour, but bright moonlight in 2026 is expected to keep observed rates below 5 meteors per hour. Source
