The daytime meteor shower Arietids remains active from April 14 to June 24.

According to the Department of Astrophysics at the Physics Faculty of Baku State University (BSU), the peak of the shower’s activity will occur on June 10 at 18:00 Baku time. The best viewing conditions are expected on the morning of June 11, just before dawn. During this time, observers may see up to 50 meteors per hour in optimal conditions, while in Baku, up to 15 meteors per hour are likely to be visible.

The name "Arietids" is derived from the Latin name of the zodiac constellation Aries, where the radiant—the point in the sky from which meteors appear to originate—is located. Meteor showers are typically named after the constellation containing their radiant. Unlike typical nighttime meteor showers, the Arietids are visible during the morning hours—just before dawn or at sunrise—making visual observation challenging due to daylight. This characteristic classifies the Arietids as a daytime meteor shower.

Initially, astronomers believed the shower originated from comet 121P/Shoemaker-Holt, discovered in 1989, which has an orbital period of 8.5 years. However, more recent hypotheses suggest that the meteor stream may instead originate from the asteroid Icarus, discovered in 1949.
