Partial solar eclipse visible in Calgary Saturday with viewing event at Telus Spark

Calgarians will have an opportunity to see an annular solar eclipse this weekend. On Saturday, the moon will pass in front of the sun and block its light in one of the last solar eclipses that Canadians will have a chance to see for at least a few years.

Annular solar eclipses happen when the moon lines up with the sun at the point of its orbit
