More Universe Mapping - The South Pole Wall

Here is a map of galaxies and voids. Our galaxy is a tiny little dot someplace in middle. I find this kind of science fascinating, mapping at the largest possible scale. And the science needed to do it is cool as well. Recently, The South Pole Wall was discovered, another structure of galaxies mind-boggling large.  Here is the paper from arxiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.04414 Read it for cool details!

Here is a map extracted from the PDF. You are someplace in here.


The paper also includes a fun video. Thanks to the researchers who did this.
