Reality imitates pulp fiction: astronomers detect an empty spot in the cosmos. "Huge hole found in the universe." Instapundit blames star-devouring space monsters. One wonders if photino birds are at work.
Or just when the alien invasion should arrive.

Everything you post reminds me of old radio dramas.
"Nothing Behind the Door" (1947) the premiere episode of "Quiet, Please," the greatest horror/SF/fantasy anthology series of all time*, scripted by the great Wyllis Cooper.
From the episode: "There are scores of places in this universe where there's nothing -- far places, near places."
* Reasonable people may disagree, but they would be wrong.

now that I've read more about it, the "WMAP Cold Spot", as it has been called, appears to be the center of the big bang. It was originally identified in 2004, the paper is just being published now.
These empty spaces are nothing new to astrophysicists, but this is a strange one. Given we've only known about dark matter for about 10 years, this isn't that surprising!
