"What we've found is not normal, based on either observational studies or on computer simulations of the large-scale evolution of the Universe," Williams said.

I found this quote very interesting in the full article. University of Minnesota astronomers have found an enormous hole in the Universe, nearly a billion light-years across. The empty space is void of stars, galaxies, gas and the mysterious unseen dark matter.

"Not only has no one ever found a void this big, but we never even expected to find one this size," said Lawrence Rudnick of the University of Minnesota astronomy professor. Rudnick, along with grad student Shea Brown and associate professor Liliya Williams, also of the University of Minnesota, reported their findings in a paper accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal.

The finding surprised the Astronomers. As quoted by Williams, the finding is not normal with their idea of 'large-scale of evolution of the Universe'.

The article goes onto trying to explain the absence of anything in roughly 6-10 billion light years from Earth by using 'dark matter' as the cause.
