A stellar desert found in our Milky Way Galaxy!
A vast expense of space near the center of Milky Way Galaxy- called the inner disk- is completely devoid of stars. Recently, an international team of researchers identified a huge gaseous void that extends for 8000 light years from the galactic core. They named this desolate region as stellar void and claimed that it hasn't produced any new stars in hundreds of millions of years.
