Southern Local Supervoid

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Southern Local Supervoid is a tremendously large, nearly-empty region of space, devoid of galaxies, known as a void.

It lies next to the Local Supercluster, which contains our galaxy the Milky Way. Its center is 96 megaparsecs away and the void is 112 megaparsecs in diameter across its narrowest width.[1]
