Arietids

The Arietids are a strong daytime meteor shower active between May 22 and July 2. This shower is notable because it's one of the strongest daytime showers, but it's difficult to observe directly due to the Sun being above the horizon during its peak activity around June 7. Radio detection is the primary method used to study the Arietids, as the meteors ionize the atmosphere, creating trails that reflect radio waves.

The radiant, or the point in the sky from which the meteors appear to originate, is located in the constellation Aries, hence the name. The Arietids are associated with the Marsden and Kracht comet groups, and specifically thought to be linked to asteroid 1566 Icarus. The speed of Arietid meteors is relatively high, entering the atmosphere at approximately 38 kilometers per second.
