Reply to comment by SamB110 in Is the Milky Way... Normal? by cciccitrixx

We’re not far from the core because no such thing exists, but the Milky Way does exist in the largest known galactic void. Our void isn’t like some of the other huge ones where there’s like 60 galaxies for billions of light years, it’s just less densely populated than other regions of our observable universe

I didn’t know that about the void, but figured there was no true “core” or at least one that we know of.

Basically there’s regions with galaxies clustered much more closely together to the point they all touch
