A Discovery of Cosmic Proportion
Last August, Larry Rudnick announced the discovery of a gaping hole in space, far larger than any previously found. Astronomers have known for years that the universe contains spaces devoid of normal matter and mysterious "dark matter."? But this newly found hole is one billion light years across! That's an expanse of 6 billion trillion miles of...nothing. Not to be confused with a black hole, this void is so enormous that current astrophysical theories simply can't explain it. Rudnick's recent findings made headlines around the world and raised intriguing questions about the origins of the universe.
