Description

This is another Dark Nebula.  I have a very good friend whose name starts with an E, so I found that letter in space for her!  These are actually two dark nebula that appear to make the letter E by blotting out the stars behind them.  Must be pretty thick in there to block out all of the light in such a dense region of stars!
