This article was written in 2007 about the Giant Void. [0] In 2013, the KBC Void [1] was discovered, named after its discoverers, Keenan, Barger, and Cowie. The KBC void is 2 billion light years across, twice the diameter and 8 times the volume of the Giant Void. Both the Giant Void and the KBC Void contain galaxies, the Giant Void containing 17 galaxy clusters, and the KBC Void containing the Laniakea Supercluster. [2] The Laniakea Supercluster contains the Milky Way. Something to imagine, indeed.
