    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boötes_Void

    The Boötes Void (/ b oʊ ˈ oʊ t iː z / boh-OH-teez) (colloquially referred to as the Great Nothing) [1] is an approximately spherical region of space found in the vicinity of the constellation Boötes, containing only 60 galaxies instead of the 2,000 that should be expected from an area this large, hence its name.

  5. Void (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Void_(astronomy)

    Cosmic voids (also known as dark space) are vast spaces between filaments (the largest-scale structures in the universe), which contain very few or no galaxies. In spite of their size, most galaxies are not located in voids. This is because most galaxies are gravitationally bound together, creating huge cosmic structures known as galaxy filaments.

  6. Galaxy filament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_filament

    In cosmology, galaxy filaments are the largest known structures in the universe, consisting of walls of galactic superclusters.These massive, thread-like formations can commonly reach 50 to 80 megaparsecs (160 to 260 megalight-years)—with the largest found to date being the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall at around 3 gigaparsecs (9.8 Gly) in length—and form the boundaries between voids ...

  7. Local Hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Hole

    The KBC Void (or Local Hole) is an immense, comparatively empty region of space, named after astronomers Ryan Keenan, Amy Barger, and Lennox Cowie, who studied it in 2013. [1] The existence of a local underdensity has been the subject of many pieces of literature and research articles.

    Artist's conception of the Giant Void and the filaments and walls that surround it. The internal clusters can also be appreciated (credit: Pablo Carlos Budassi). The Giant Void (also known as the Giant Void in NGH, Canes Venatici Supervoid, and AR-Lp 36) is an extremely large region of space with an underdensity of galaxies and located in the constellation Canes Venatici.

    The mean ISW imprint 50 supervoids have on the Cosmic Microwave Background: [9] [clarification needed] color scale from -20 to +20 μK.. One possible explanation of the cold spot is a huge void between us and the primordial CMB.
