=== KBC void === {{main|KBC void}} The [[KBC void]] is an immense, comparatively empty region of space containing the [[Milky Way]] approximately 2 billion light-years (600 megaparsecs, Mpc) in diameter.<ref name="kbc">{{Cite journal | last1 = Keenan | first1 = Ryan C. | last2 = Barger | first2 = Amy J. | last3 = Cowie | first3 = Lennox L. | title = Evidence for a ~300 Mpc Scale Under-density in the Local Galaxy Distribution | journal = The Astrophysical Journal | volume = 775 | year = 2013 | issue = 1 | page = 62 | doi = 10.1088/0004-637X/775/1/62 |arxiv = 1304.2884 |bibcode = 2013ApJ...775...62K | s2cid = 118433293 }}</ref><ref name="siegel">{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2017/06/07/were-way-below-average-astronomers-say-milky-way-resides-in-a-great-cosmic-void/#4d53c7cd6d05|title=We're Way Below Average!
