It was discovered in 1988, and was the largest void in the Northern Galactic Hemisphere, and possibly the second-largest ever detected. Even the hypothesized "Eridanus Supervoid" corresponding to the location of the 205:, concentrated in a spherically shaped region 50 Mpc in diameter. Studies of the motion of these clusters show that they have no interaction to each other, meaning the density of the clusters is very low resulting in weak 395: 244: 340: 1294: 440: 1347: 460: 239: 107: 79: 126: 86: 470: 449: 64: 93: 1287: 1124: 433: 372: 367: 313: 195: 147:
