They are visible from both hemispheres and remain active until July 3. Their radiant point is in the constellation Aries: the meteors do not fall from above, but rather seem to emerge from the horizon into the sky.

Who can see this astronomical phenomenon?

Anyone who is in a place with a clear eastern horizon, far from artificial lights, and willing to wake up before sunrise can observe them. No special equipment is needed — naked-eye viewing is the most effective and safest.

Using binoculars or telescopes near the eastern horizon carries a real risk: with the sun about to rise, pointing optical instruments in that direction can cause permanent vision damage.

Ideal conditions

• Clear eastern horizon
• Away from light pollution
• Arrive at the viewing spot one hour before sunrise
• Waning moon phase, with less light interference

What to do if there are no dark skies nearby?

There is an unusual alternative: listen to them with an FM radio. When a meteor hits the atmosphere, it leaves a column of ionized gas that bounces distant radio signals back to the antenna.

You need to tune to a frequency with no local station — just static — corresponding to a broadcast station more than 500 kilometers away. Each meteor generates a brief burst of audio amid the noise. The shower remains active and detectable this way until June 24.
