    From your article;
    "Galaxy-wise, it’s a ghost town. When we first saw the void, we found only one galaxy inside. Since then, we’ve detected only a few dozen more. By contrast, the Virgo Supercluster, a smaller region that includes the Milky Way, contains over 2000 galaxies".

    Of course if you did read the article, and not just post it for "shock and awe" on an aspect that was already explained to you the other day, you would know that they do not mean holes in the "vacuum"..they mean regions of spacetime which appear empty and devoid of galaxies: see the extract.
    The HDF and HUDF put that in perspective with regards to other regions that also appeared devoid of galaxies, although this is much larger....why? I don't really know...perhaps as yet, we are missing something.
    But yet again, as has been explained to you many times, we don't know everything as yet.
    But hey! Thanks for the article!
