    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.

    This galaxy filament contains the Perseus–Pisces Supercluster. Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex (1987) 1,000,000,000: Contains the Milky Way, and is the first galaxy filament to be discovered. (The first LQG was found earlier in 1982.) A new report in 2014 confirms the Milky Way as a member of the Laniakea Supercluster.

    Voids are particularly galaxy-poor regions of space between filaments, making up the large-scale structure of the universe. Some voids are known as supervoids . In the tables, z is the cosmological redshift , c the speed of light , and h the dimensionless Hubble parameter , which has a value of approximately 0.7 (the Hubble constant H 0 = h × ...

    NGC 2359 (also known as Thor's Helmet) is an emission nebula [3] in the constellation Canis Major. The nebula is approximately 3,670 parsecs (11.96 thousand light years) away and 30 light-years in size. The central star is the Wolf-Rayet star WR7, an extremely hot star thought to be in a brief pre-supernova stage of evolution.

    A field [16] dwarf spiral galaxy located at the edge of a region of space called the Local Void. The dwarf galaxy spans 30,000 light-years and lies approximately 17 million light-years away in the constellation of Draco (the Dragon). This spiral galaxy is especially colorful where bright red regions of gas can be seen scattered through its ...
