Keep your eyes on the sky early Saturday morning and you just might see a lunar eclipse.

The moon will enter the earth’s shadow around 5 a.m. and the sky should be clear.

Astronomer at the Calgary Telus World of Science Alan Dyer says it will happen in the southwestern part of the sky.

Because it is an eclipse of the moon you can look directly at it without damaging your eyes.
