The Eta Aquarids will be active between April 19 – May 28, 2025 with its peak expected on the night of May 4 and predawn hours of May 5. Thankfully, for 2025, there should be minimal interference from the moonlight.
Eta Aquarid meteors are known for their speed, with the meteors traveling at about 148,000 mph (66 km/s) into Earth’s atmosphere. Fast meteors can leave glowing “trains” (incandescent bits of debris in the wake of the meteor) which last for several seconds to minutes. In general, about 30 Eta Aquarid meteors can be seen per hour during their peak. – Read more at NASA
