The Eta Aquariids meteor shower peaks from Teruel around May 5-6, with up to 40 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a new moon means dark skies, and from Teruel the radiant in Aquarius climbs to 16° above the east horizon around 05:10. Local best viewing window: 04:30–05:10 CEST on the peak night, about 0.7 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 40/hour headline figure works out to roughly 11 meteors an hour from Teruel under a genuinely dark sky. The radiant stays low from Teruel, so expect fewer meteors but longer, shallower trails near the horizon. Tonight: mixed cloud, so clear spells come and go.
