This event comes just days after the rare super blue blood moon that took place on January 31 and is also the second solar eclipse in six months.
They were visible to the naked eye across the UK and countries in the mid-northern latitudes, including parts of the US.
Sunspots are the primary generator of solar flares, the sudden, powerful blasts of electromagnetic radiation and charged particles that burst into space during explosions on the Sun's surface.
While people in the US are buzzing with excitement over the eclipse, sky gazers and space enthusiasts in India are quite disappointed about not being able to witness such a rare phenomenon.
The shower will peak around 1:00 pm EDT on August 12, which means that the night before and the night after will both have good rates.
