Errata in title, this looks more like 'D' than 'E'.

I'd say it looks more like an E based on the attached engineering hull
and pylon design:

Also, as appropriate for a 'Galaxy-class' starship, a serendipitous
framing of this photo looks to place the constellation Sagittarius and
hence the center of our Milky Way in the background.

The skeptic in me wonders if this is a little 'too' serendipitous? I did
a brief search to see if I could find an independent source confirming
the authenticity of this photo, but to no luck.

I leave it as an exercise for the readership.

And the readership responds that it's a real NASA image:
