The Boötes void (colloquially referred to as the Great Nothing) is an enormous, approximately spherical region of space, containing very few galaxies. It is located in the vicinity of the constellation Boötes, hence its name. Image credit: Pablo Carlos Budassi

Boötes Void One Of The Largest Voids In The Universe
Boötes void is one of the largest known voids in the Universe. This massive empty spherical region in space is about 330 million light-years in diameter. The Universe is full of voids! Areas where very few things exist. Boötes void or the Great Nothing is such a place.

The Fermi Paradox: Disappearing Stars & Cosmic Voids

If the Universe is inhabited by older alien civilizations, those who have ventured out to the stars and colonized galaxies, we would expect to see a footprint of extraterrestrial activity. Could the many stars whose brightness has dimmed be indicative of Dyson Spheres or other Megastructures? Could the Cosmic Voids vastly bigger than any galaxy be the work of even greater and older starfaring species?

What is the Boötes Void?
In this episode of Ask an Astrophysicist, Dr. Sam Morrell answers Lexy's question of: "What is the Boötes Void"? With Natalie asking some follow-up questions, he explores how this supervoid came to exist and why we can't seem to see anything behind it.

The Mind-Blowing Scale of Voids and Supervoids
Supervoids are the massive, empty spaces between galaxy clusters and galaxy filaments. But just because they are empty, doesn't mean they can't be fascinating! They have taught us a great deal about galaxy structures and the early universe, and today we'll be venturing into a few of the biggest!

How do cosmic supervoids prove that dark energy exists? | Space is Weird - Boötes Void
Supervoids are some of the largest, emptiest regions of space in the entire Universe. Their very existence proves that the expansion of the Universe must be accelerating; by studying them we can therefore probe the mysterious dark energy…

My sister made the frame in the background as a present when I passed my PhD. It's not a real certificate. It's a decorative frame in my office which I love. My sister does commissions if anyone else wants one: https://megansmethurstdesign.wordpress.com/work/
We're moving house soon so I'm hoping to get more prints to decorate my new office! If you have any recommendations let me know in the comments.

Fermi Paradox: Into the Void
The Fermi Paradox asks us where all the alien civilizations are? Today we will ask if the might be hiding in the Voids, from those between the stars to the massive Supervoids like the Boötes Void. Could they be home to Extraterrestrial Empires so large they dwarf even Kardashev-3 Civilizations?
