FactoidFriday: Boötes Void, the Hole In Space.

Thanks to Dan, Ben, and Shannon for sending in facts to the Factoid Hotline!

Their facts were all about The Boötes Void, a vast, roughly spherical region of space, 330 Million Light years wide that has almost nothing inside it. What could cause it, and is it from an angry ancient god?
