Northern Local Supervoid


The Northern Local Supervoid is a region of space devoid of rich clusters of galaxies, known as a void. It is the closest supervoid and is located between the Virgo, Coma and Hercules superclusters. On the sky, it is located between Boötes, Virgo, and Serpens Caput constellations. It contains a few small galaxies and galaxy clusters, but is mostly empty. The faint galaxies within this void divide the region into smaller voids, which are 3-10 times smaller than the supervoid. The center is located away at approximately and it is in diameter across its narrowest width.
