Aries is a medium-sized constellation found between Taurus and Pisces in the zodiac. While its stars are relatively dim, a few meteor showers radiate from Aries, including the Arietids. Alpha Arietis is its brightest star, and forms an asterism with Beta and Gamma Arietis. Aries also contains stars with exoplanets, as well as several deep sky objects.
To locate Aries, you can find the Pleiades, an open star cluster on Taurus, leading to a crooked line of three stars (Alpha, Beta and Gamma) that forms the asterism.
This is a rough drawing of Aries, with its neighbouring constellations.
The Arietids is a strong meteor shower that peaks on June 7. It produces an average of 60 shooting stars each hour. However, due to their closeness to the Sun when these showers reach their peak, they are difficult to view with the naked eye. NGC772 is an unbarred spiral galaxy found within Aries. It is surrounded by satellite galaxies, including a dwarf elliptical which tidal force has caused the emergence of a single spiral arm more developed than the others. Tidal force is a gravitational effect which stretches bodies along a line towards the center of gravity of the other body.
Up next is Auriga.
