• Resumen

  • The article reports on the efforts of astronomical researchers from the University of Hawaii in exploring the possibility of a supervoid that brought about the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) Cold Spot. Topics discussed include presence of the CMB light that pervades the universe and speculations on the existence of a vast region of relatively empty space in the same region of the sky as the cold spot. The energy lost from the light as it travels through a supervoid is mentioned.
