Mexico Awaits Dazzling Ariétidas Meteor Shower

Mexico to Witness Spectacular Ariétidas Meteor Shower Mexico is set to experience a dazzling celestial display this weekend. The Ariétidas meteor shower, known for its intense daytime activity, will reach its peak on Saturday, June 7th, 2025, between 4 and 7 a.m. According to astronomers, the shower is caused by particles from comet 96P Machholz entering the Earth's atmosphere at high speeds. "This will be a truly remarkable sight," says Dr. Elena Rodriguez, an astronomer at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. "With up to 50 meteors visible per hour, it's a spectacle not to be missed." For optimal viewing, experts recommend finding a location away from city lights and with a clear sky. While the moon will be at its peak, its brightness shouldn't significantly impact visibility due to the shower's daytime nature. The event promises to be a unique astronomical experience for Mexico, offering a breathtaking display of shooting stars across the Mexican sky.
