The Zeta Perseids (ζ–Perseids) are a daylight meteor shower that takes place from about May 20 to July 5.^[1] On the peak date of June 13, the radiant is only 16 degrees from the Sun.^[3] The shower was discovered at Jodrell Bank Observatory in 1947 using radio equipment.^[1] The Zeta Perseids and Beta Taurids are both probably associated with the Taurid Complex of meteor showers.^[2] The Arietids and Zeta Perseids maxima tend to blend into one another.^[2]
