Daytime meteor shower in June 2025 … the Arietids

The majority of meteor showers are simple to see. Simply locate a dark sky and raise your gaze! However, what about meteor showers that occur during the day, after the sun has risen? Some claim that the Arietids are the most active meteor shower during the day. They are expected to **peak** on the mornings of June 7 in 2025. In the dark hour before dawn that morning, you might see some Arietids.

When to watch: From May 29 to June 17, Arietids will be available. The mornings around June 7 are expected to reach their **peak. During the dark hour prior to dawn, search for them in the direction of the rising sun.

Nearest lunar phase: On June 3, at 3:41 UTC, the moon entered its first quarter phase.

Radiant: The constellation Aries the Ram has the shower’s radiant point, which is the location in the sky from which the meteors seem to radiate. This constellation is located in the east before sunrise.

The shower lasted from May 29 to June 17.

Peak predicted meteor activity: This is challenging for meteor showers during the day because you won’t be able to see them when the sun rises. The hourly rate of the Arietids, however, is zenithal! A rate of 60 meteors per hour, and maybe as much as 200 meteors per hour, has been reported by meteor counts using radar and radio echoes.

Note: Some claim that the Arietids are the most active meteor shower during the day.
