The moon rests on a backdrop of perfect blue over the courtyard outside of Asia House. This picture served as inspiration for this week’s nightscapes photo series.

Throughout the years, the night sky at Oberlin has served as a mesmerizing backdrop for campus and community life. This week we will visit several places on campus where the night sky makes the campus pop.

See more Oberlin nightscapes on Oberlin’s Flickr page.
