For years, cosmologists had thought that a strange feature appearing in the microwave sky, known as the CMB cold spot, was due to the light passing through a giant supervoid. But new research casts ...

In 2004, astronomers examining a map of the radiation leftover from the Big Bang (the cosmic microwave background, or CMB) discovered the Cold Spot, a larger-than-expected unusually cold area of the ...

The biggest structure ever identified by humans is a gigantic hole in the universe known as the supervoid, astronomers say. Loading... It is 1.8 billion light years across or about 10-20 times bigger ...

The universe is a dark, cold place. But it has a strange region that’s even colder than usual. Seen from Earth, it’s an area where the ambient cosmic microwave background light—the leftover thermal ...
