As If I Didn't Have Enough to Worry About

Gaping Hole in the Cosmos Found.

"As­tro­no­mers say they’ve ap­par­ently found a gi­ant hole in the un­iverse—a prac­tic­ally emp­ty zone, called a void, whose gap­ing size is hard to ex­plain.

While past stud­ies had re­vealed oth­er voids, this one dwarfs them all, re­search­ers say, be­ing nearly a bil­lion light-years across. A light-year is the dis­tance light trav­els in a year, some six tril­lion miles or nine tril­lion km."
