Astronomers from Minnesota have found the largest hole in the universe. It's more than a billion lightyears across and contains no stars, galaxies, or even dark matter. The astronomers expressed regret over their discovery, one stating, “Oh great! Now for the next decade of my career I'm stuck studying, to one part in a billion, nothing!” The scientists discovered the hole, which appears to be completely lacking of any substance, by studying a sky survey done by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. Apparently the only signals detected in the great void were old broadcasts of "Imus in the Morning."
