The Arietids are a meteor shower that is active from May 14th to June 24th and reaches its maximum on June 7th. Since the arietids in Central Europe can only be found above the horizon during the day , they cannot be observed there with the naked eye. They can only be registered with the help of radio waves .
When meteors enter the atmosphere , they leave short-lived ionized traces that reflect certain radio waves well. When using suitable radio sources , the signals reflected by the ionization tracks can be registered with the aid of detectors .
