a map of galaxy voids. This is a list of voids in astronomy.Voids are particularly galaxy-poor regions of space between filaments, making up the large-scale structure of the universe.

In astronomy, voids are the empty spaces between filaments (some of the largest-scale structures in the Universe) that contain hardly any, or no, galaxies. Pages in category "Voids (astronomy)" The following 13 pages are in this category, out of 13 total.
A map of the 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.
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.
The faint galaxies within this void divide the region into smaller voids, which are 3–10 times smaller than the supervoid. The center is located 61 Mpc (199 Mly ) away at approximately ( 15 h , +15°) and it is 104 Mpc (339 Mly) in diameter across its narrowest width.
A void galaxy is a galaxy located in a cosmological void. [1] Few galaxies exist in voids; most are located in sheets, walls and filaments that surround voids and supervoids. [2] [3] Many void galaxies are connected through void filaments [4] or tendrils, [5] less massive versions of the regular galaxy filaments that surround voids.
The Local Void is a vast, empty region of space, lying adjacent to the Local Group. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Discovered by Brent Tully and Rick Fisher in 1987, [ 5 ] the Local Void is now known to be composed of three separate sectors, separated by bridges of "wispy filaments ". [ 4 ]
