200 Meteors an Hour?! Don't Miss the Daytime Arietids Meteor Shower

Get ready for the strongest daytime meteor shower of the year — the Arietids! 🌟 Peaking around June 7 (with activity between June 5–10), the Arietid meteor shower can produce up to 200 meteors per hour, making it one of the most powerful meteor showers on Earth.

But here's the twist:
Most of these meteors arrive during the daytime, which makes them hard to see with the naked eye.

💡 Here’s how to catch a glimpse:
Go outside about 30 minutes before dawn

Look anywhere in the sky — no telescope needed

If you're lucky, you might see a fireball — a bright, rare meteor that leaves a long streak across the sky

These dazzling fireballs are your best chance to see the Arietids in action before the sun comes up. 🌌 Where do they come from? The Arietids originate from a mysterious object in space — possibly an extinct comet or an unusual asteroid. Scientists are still working to uncover the source.
So if you spot one, you’re not just seeing a shooting star — you're witnessing a piece of one of the most intense and mysterious meteor showers our planet experiences.
