  Austin TX (SPX) Jun 07, 2017 Cosmologically speaking, the Milky Way and its immediate neighborhood are in the boondocks. In a 2013 observational study, University of Wisconsin-Madison astronomer Amy Barger and her then-student Ryan Keenan showed that our galaxy, in the context of the large-scale structure of the universe, resides in an enormous void - a region of space containing far fewer galaxies, stars and planets than expected. Now, a new study by a UW-Madison undergraduate, also a student of Barger's, not only firms up t ... read more |
