Description

Barnard's E is a dark nebula in the constellation Aquila. Officially designated as Barnard 142 and 143, the pair make a well-defined dark area on the Milky Way background consisting of countless stars. At about 2,000 light years distant from Earth, the size appears about that of a Full Moon, or roughly 0.5 degrees. The E Nebula can been seen through binoculars on a good night at a dark site.
