about
700 million light years from Earth lies a virtually empty area of space so vast and with galaxies so distant from each other that if our galaxy, The Milky Way, were to be located there other galaxies would not have been discovered until the 1960's. This vacant region is known as the Boötes Void.

Welcome to the spookiest part of the universe, where the emptiness immerses the traveler as a barren, blank and black sea of nothingness.

"Journey Through the Boötes Void" is an aural guided tour through this enigmatic 250-million light-year expanse, the largest known void in our universe. Sit back, clear your mind and prepare yourself for an expedition of space focused both outward and inward.
