Fascinating

quoting note1hl0…p7fr

The Boötes Void, discovered in 1981, is one of the universe's largest voids, measuring 250 million light-years across, with only 60 galaxies. Its extreme emptiness puzzles scientists, as it #challenges current theories of how matter is distributed in the cosmos. #Hypotheses suggest it could have formed by the merging of smaller voids, or involve dark matter or dark energy. Studying this region might reveal key insights into the universe’s structure and #evolution.
