Study supports idea of Milky Way existing in a void
Milky Way and its neighbours exist in a "Swiss cheese-like cosmic void", a US-based study suggests, supporting a previous study which showed the galaxy exists in a region sparsely populated by other celestial bodies. Further, the "living in a void" study eases scientists' disagreement over the Hubble Constant (rate of expansion of the Universe) found via different techniques, researchers said.
