Only a few stars can b found within ten light-years of our lonely Sun situated nearan outer spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy.But i the Sun were found withinone of our galaxy' starclusters, thousands of stars might occupy a similar space Whatwould the night sky look like in such a densely packed stellarneighborhood?When Roger Hopkins took this picture at th MontezumaNational Wildlife Refugein the Finger Lakes region of western New York, USA, he wasstruck by this same notion.Appropriately, he had photographe a flockof starlings against thebackdrop of a serene sunset.He then manipulated the image so that the blackbird silhouettes were changed to white The finalpicture dramatically suggests thetantalizing spectacle of approaching night in crowde skies above clusterstar world.
