I use WIKI 2 every day and almost forgot how the original Wikipedia looks like.
What we do. Every page goes through several hundred of perfecting techniques; in live mode. Quite the same Wikipedia. Just better.

A map of the Boötes Void

The Boötes Void (/bˈtz/ 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 2000 that should be expected from an area this large, hence its name. With a radius of 62 megaparsecs (nearly 330 million light-years across), it is one of the largest voids in the visible universe, and is referred to as a supervoid.[2]

It was discovered in 1981 by Robert Kirshner as part of a survey of galactic redshifts.[3] Its centre is located 700 million light-years from Earth,[2] and at approximately right ascension 14h 50m and declination 46°.

The Hercules Supercluster forms part of the near edge of the void.[3]

Origins

A map of galaxy voids

There are no major apparent inconsistencies between the existence of the Boötes Void and the Lambda-CDM model of cosmological evolution.[4] The Boötes Void is theorized to have formed from the merger of smaller voids, much like the way in which soap bubbles coalesce to form larger bubbles.[5] This would account for the small number of galaxies that populate a roughly tube-shaped region running through the middle of the void.[6]

Confusion with Barnard 68

An image of Barnard 68, which is mistakenly used to refer to the Boötes Void.

The Boötes Void has been often associated with images of Barnard 68,[7] a dark nebula that does not allow light to pass through; however, the images of Barnard 68 are much darker than those observed of the Boötes Void, as the nebula is much closer and there are fewer stars in front of it, as well as its being a physical mass that blocks light passing through.
