Aries is historically known to have represented a ram since Babylonian times. The Ancient Egyptians associated it with their deity Amon-Ra and some Medieval Muslim astronomers believed the constellation could represent something other than a ram. However, throughout the world, most associated Aries with a ram.

Aries is known to have many deep-sky objects, like meteors and bright stars. In fact, some of its brightest stars are named after the constellation: Alpha Arietis, Beta Arietis, Gamma Arietis, and 41 Arietis.

A star known as HD 20367 in Aries was found to contain an exoplanet with a mass slightly higher than Jupiter's. Two Earth-mass exoplanets were later found to also be orbiting this star.
