My first thought is that someone died. Is it for aesthetics only ?

Yep, symbolic of mourning, acknowledging the passing of a figure of importance or notability to the community.

Occasionally, there will be a thin black bar at the top of the top bar, in memoriam of a significant figure in the tech/science community dying. A Hacker News submission about the death will usually be on the front page at that time.
