The Most Horrifying Place in the Universe You Never Knew
Imagine a place where there is nothing for millions of light-years ahead. Absolutely nothing. Total darkness. A place so dark that it seems that the time itself is put on hold. But what is it? Let me explain.

We know that we orbit the Sun and the Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The Milky Way along with its 50 neighbors goes around the invisible gravitational center in the local galaxy group located inside the Virgo Supercluster. Just like other superclusters, it turned out to be a part of a much bigger Laniakea Supercluster.
Inside the circle, the objects don’t orbit the same point but gravitate towards a super heavy Great Attractor anomaly in the center. We can’t see it due to the specific location of our galaxy.
Our galactic disc obstructs our view. But today we're interested not in the Attractor itself but the eerie empty space in front of it. Dipole Repeller. Such empty areas in outer space are called voids.
And if you look at the Universe from outside, it would seem like an infinite network of galactic threads divided by empty spaces called voids. This is what our world looks like if you could capture it in one picture. Ten billion light-years connected with galactic threads. Voids are one of the biggest structures in nature that occupy most space in the Universe.
Today we will focus on one of these voids.
This is THE BOOTES VOID, the most Horrifying Place in the Universe.
