In mid-2000 preliminary
results of a more extensive count (~106,000) of galaxy distribution with
distance in two slices of the celestial sphere (each about 75° across, 8 - 15°
thick, and out to ~ 4 billion light years from Earth), known as the 2 Degree Field Redshift Galaxy Survey,
was announced at the annual American Astronomical Union (AAU) meeting. This is
the map presented there:

Figure. Void and wall galaxies in the SDSS.
Shown is a projection of a 10 h-1 Mpc slab
with wall galaxies plotted as black crosses and void
galaxies plotted as red crosses. Blue circles indicate the
intersection of the maximal sphere of each void with the midplane of the slab
(from Pan et al. 2011).
This
algorithm does not assume that voids are entirely devoid of galaxies and
identifies void galaxies as those with three or less neighboring galaxies
within a sphere defined by the mean and standard deviation of the distance to
the third nearest neighbor for all galaxies.

This map of a section of the Universe shows the
positions of thousands of galaxies that were measured as part of the VIPERS
survey with ESO’s Very Large Telescope. The observer on the Earth is at the
left and galaxies towards the right are seen at earlier times in the history of
the Universe. Redshift 0.65 corresponds to looking back about six
billion years and redshift 1.0 to about eight billion years ago. The colours indicate the true colours of the galaxies — red objects are red elliptical
galaxies and blue are star-forming spiral galaxies. The sizes of the blobs
indicate the brightness of the galaxies. (https://cdn.eso.org/images/screen/ann13022a.jpg )

If this figure shows two from the Seven ardhoan, then one would expect a radius of the universe of
the order 12*4=48 billion light years.

Clowes has said that more
large quasar groups could form larger structures. Galaxy clusters are
over 99.9% plasmas and superfluids, with little
normal ...

Plot of distance (in giga light-years)
vs. redshift according to the Lambda-CDM
model. (in
solid black) is the comoving distance from Earth to the
location with the Hubble redshift z while (in
dotted red) is the speed of light multiplied by the look back time to Hubble
redshift z. The comoving distance is the physical space-like distance between here and the distant
location, asymptoting
to the size of the observable universe at some 47 billion
light years. The lookback time is the distance a photon traveled from the
time it was emitted to now divided by the speed of light, with a maximum
distance of 13.8 billion light years corresponding to the age of the universe Probably related to
inflation period, when the universe radius grows

Visualization of the 93 billion light year – or
28 billion parsec – three-dimensional observable universe. The scale is such
that the fine grains represent collections of large numbers of superclusters.
The Virgo Supercluster – home of Milky Way – is marked at the center, but is
too small to be seen in the image (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Observable_Universe_with_Measurements_01.png).
