Episode The Great Nothing: Inside the Largest Void in the Universe

0:00 36:02

Boötes Void, known as the “Great Nothing,” is a vast region of space roughly 330 million light-years across containing far fewer galaxies than expected. Formed as smaller cosmic voids merged and matter was pushed toward their edges, it offers a rare glimpse into an almost empty universe. Studying this enormous void could reveal new clues about galaxy formation, dark energy, and the expansion of the cosmos. Thank you for listening to Bedtime Astronomy — your guide to the cosmos.
