Local Void 18h 38m +18° cz=2500km/s Diameter = 60 Mpc [1]
Northern Local Supervoid 61Mpc Diameter = 104 Mpc Virgo Supercluster, Coma Supercluster, Perseus-Pisces Supercluster, Ursa Major-Lynx Supercluster, Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster, Sculptor Supercluster, Pavo-Corona Australes Supercluster form a sheet between the Northern Local Supervoid and the Southern Local Supervoid. [2] The Hercules Supercluster separates the Northern Local Void from the Bootes Void. [2] The Perseus-Pisces Supercluster and Pegasus Supercluster form a sheet separate the Northern Local Void and Southern Local Void from the Pegasus Void. [2]
Southern Local Supervoid 96Mpc Diameter = 112 Mpc Virgo Supercluster, Coma Supercluster, Perseus-Pisces Supercluster, Ursa Major-Lynx Supercluster, Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster, Sculptor Supercluster, Pavo-Corona Australes Supercluster form a sheet between the Northern Local Supervoid and the Southern Local Supervoid. [2] The Perseus-Pisces Supercluster and Pegasus Supercluster form a sheet separate the Northern Local Void and Southern Local Void from the Pegasus Void. [2]
Giant Void 13h 01m +38.7° z=0.116 Diameter = 300-400 Mpc "Giant Void in NGH" or "AR-Lp 36" ; NGH stands for "Northern Galactic Hemisphere" ; discovered in 1988 [3] It is the largest void in the NGH where z<0.14 [4]
Bootes Void
(Great Void)
14h 20m 26° 150Mpc Diameter = 100 Mpc The Hercules Supercluster separates the Northern Local Void from the Bootes Void. [2] The Hercules Supercluster thus forms part of the near edge of the Bootes Void. [5]
Canis Major Void
Columba Void
Coma Void Discovered in 1975, along with the Coma Supercluster, it lies in front of the Coma Cluster. [6] It was the first void to be discovered, and is approximtely 1/3 as far away as the much larger Bootes Void. [7]
Corona Borealis Void
Eridanus Void This void is separated from the Sculptor void by a sheet of galaxies. [8]
Eridanus Supervoid
(Great Void)
03h 15m 05s −19° 35′ 02″ z=1 Diameter = 150 Mpc The claimed Eridanus Supervoid or "Great Void", reported on 24 August 2007 by the NRAO from Very Large Array Sky Survey data.[9] This void, if real, would be much larger than the others listed here, being about 300/h Mpc in diameter and 1800–3000/h Mpc distant (where h is the Hubble constant). It would be associated with (and be the explanation of) a cold spot in the cosmic microwave background at the sky location.

The evidence for such a "Great Void" is disputed by Smith and Huterer.[10] They showed that the claims made of observational evidence for such a void from survey data neglected systematic effects, and did not account for a posteriori choices made in analyzing data.

Southern Eridanus Void The Southern Eridanus void is connected to the Eridanus void by a hole in the distribution of galaxies separating the two. A hole in the distribution of galaxies separating Sculptor and Southern Eridanus voids the size of (redshift) 1250km/s appears to exist. [8]
Fornax Void
Hercules Void 15.5h +30° cz=7000km/s Diameter = 3100 km/s [11] discovered in 1979 [12] [5]
Microscopium Void A hole in the distribution of galaxies separating Sculptor and Microscopium voids the size of (redshift) 1250km/s appears to exist. This is roughly 1/2 of Microscopium's diameter. [8]
Ophiucus Void near 17h −25° less than 5000 km/s (the outer limit) perhaps 0-5000 km/s 25% of average universe density is the void density of matter The far end of this void is defined by the Ophiucus Supercluster [13]
Pegasus Void 22h +15° cz=5500km/s Diameter = 40 Mpc [14] The Perseus-Pisces Supercluster and Pegasus Supercluster form a sheet separate the Northern Local Void and Southern Local Void from the Pegasus Void. [2]
Perseus-Pisces Void 1h +10° cz=8000km/s Diameter = 3000 km/s Discovered in 1980 [12], it is also called the Perseus Void
Sagittarius Void
Sculptor Void 23h 48m −24° 39′ Diameter = 34.8 Mpc/h Corresponds to SRSS1 Void 3 and SRSS2 Void 5 [15] This void is separated from the Eridanus Void by a sheet of galaxies. A hole in the distribution of galaxies separating Sculptor and Micrsocopium Voids the size of 1250km/s appears to exist. A hole in the distribution of galaxies separating Sculptor and Southern Eridanus Voids the size of 1250km/s appears to exist. [8] The Sculptor Void lies next to the Southern Wall or Southern Great Wall.
Taurus Void Diameter = 100 Mly The Taurus Void appears large and circular, and has walls of galaxies surrounding it. It lies next to the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster, and is the most visually identifiable. Several galaxies have been found to reside in the void, such as UGC 2627 and UGC 2629, both approximately 185 million light years away. [16]

[2] The Perseus-Pisces Supercluster and Pegasus Supercluster form a sheet that separate the Northern Local Void and Southern Local Void from the Perseus Void. [2]
Capricornus Void
Eridanus Void This void is separated from the Sculptor void by a sheet of galaxies. [8]
Eridanus Supervoid The claimed Eridanus Supervoid or "Great Void", reported on 24 August 2007 by the NRAO from Very Large Array Sky Survey data.[53] This void, if real, would be much larger than the others listed here, being about 300/h Mpc in diameter and 1800–3000/h Mpc distant (where h is the Hubble constant). It would be associated with (and be the explanation of) a cold spot in the cosmic microwave background at the sky location.

The evidence for such a "Great Void" is disputed by Smith and Huterer.[54] They showed that the claims made of observational evidence for such a void from survey data neglected systematic effects, and did not account for a posteriori choices made in analyzing data.

Southern Eridanus Void The Southern Eridanus void is connected to the Eridanus void by a hole in the distribution of galaxies separating the two. A hole in the distribution of galaxies separating Sculptor and Southern Eridanus voids the size of (redshift) 1250km/s appears to exist. [8]
Microscopium Void A hole in the distribution of galaxies separating Sculptor and Microscopium voids the size of (redshift) 1250km/s appears to exist. This is roughly 1/2 of Microscopium's diameter. [8]
Sagittarius Void
Sculptor Void This void is separated from the Eridanus void by a sheet of galaxies. A hole in the distribution of galaxies separating Sculptor and Micrsocopium voids the size of (redshift) 1250km/s appears to exist. A hole in the distribution of galaxies separating Sculptor and Southern Eridanus voids the size of (redshift) 1250km/s appears to exist. [8]
Taurus Void 100 million light years in diameter The Taurus Void appears large and circular, and has walls of galaxies surrounding it. It lies next to the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster, and is the most visually identifiable. Several galaxies have been found to reside in the void, such as UGC 2627 and UGC 2629, both approximately 185 million light years away. [55]

  1. ^ To the center of the void
  2. ^ This is the diameter of the largest sphere one can describe inside the void that contains no superclusters. Some voids have an elongated shape, so this diameter may underrepresent the size of some voids.
