Black Sun


From Earth Science's Picture of the Day comes a series of pictures of the Black Sun phenomenon. "During spring in Denmark, at approximately one half an hour before sunset, flocks of more than a million European starlings (sturnus vulgaris) gather from all corners to join in...incredible formations...This phenomenon is called Black Sun" and the flocks can be so dens that the sun is completely eclipsed.
