Because the sun washes out most of these meteors, the approach must be different from that of regular meteor showers<\/a> if you are to catch them.<\/p>\n Do not look for the Arietids around midnight. Look to the eastern horizon before sunrise. Best viewing occurs right as the earliest hint of dawn touches the night sky.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n \n Look for daytime meteors in the mornings around June 10. (Image credit: Jules-Pierre Malartre\/Starry Night)<\/p>\n The Arietids’ radiant is near the star 41 Arietis (Bharani) in the constellation Aries<\/a>. Since the radiant is hugging the eastern horizon at that time, the meteors won’t “fall down from above.” They will seem to shoot straight up from the horizon, which is quite a sight to see. They can also be seen skimming horizontally across the top of the atmosphere.<\/p>\n Since they restrict the field of view too much to enjoy this spectacle fully, you can put away your binoculars and telescopes for this one (and, seriously, with the sun not being far behind, lurking just below the horizon, it’s best not to use binoculars and telescopes in view of the danger of inadvertently pointing them at the sun, which can permanently injure your eyes). The best way to observe any meteor shower is with the naked eye. Make yourself comfortable and enjoy.<\/p>\n For the most adventurous amateur who wants to push the boundaries of visual observation, the Arietids are also an interesting target for basic radio astronomy that requires very little equipment to enjoy.<\/p>\n![\"Predawn](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/tuznEyC9BkGLHkAKS4RZpL.jpg\")
