An enormous hole...

Astronomers have found an enormous hole in the universe. Nearly a billion light-years across, it is empty of both normal matter such as stars, galaxies and gas, as well as the mysterious, unseen "dark matter".
The good news though...it's roughly 6 to 10 billion light-years from Earth.

Nothing to do with the topic, but speaking of enormous holes:

But, I bet, it's not as deep.

Hmm...100 meter is quite a lot for a human being and 1 billion light-years is just a little bit further even for a human mind.

You just finished 2001, cool.
I have to say it's the best one out of the 4.
They progressively get worse.
Although 2010 is still pretty cool.
