The unravelling of a celestial delight took place last night, August 30, 2023. A once-in-a-century happening. This will not take place again until 2037. The term, “Super Blue Moon”, refers to a super moon and a blue moon combination. This is when the earth’s natural satellite, the moon, reaches its closest point to the earth.

Many students at Morningside were inside working at this time on reading assignments or typing away at their writing. The Super Blue Moon serves as a light in the darkness of these busy and rambunctious times of starting school up again. The 30th, Wednesday night, marked exactly one week of Morningside’s classes starting back up.

Many photographers took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime event and captured hundreds of breathtaking photos. Astronomy junkies also set out, particularly for the sights. Morningside’s beautiful campus had many locations for the splendid view perfect for this extravaganza.
