The E Nebula in Aquila

NASA APOD · Chris Cook
COSMIC MESSAGE

Several unusual strands of darkness are prominent toward the constellation of Aquila. This particular dark nebula is known as the E Nebula, for its evocative shape, or B142 and B143, for its position on a list of such nebulae compiled by Barnard. The E Nebula spans roughly the angle of a full Moon and lies about 2,000 light-years distant. The nebula can be seen with binoculars and is particularly visible during the summer months in Earth's northern hemisphere.
