Milky Way being pushed through space by cosmic dead zone, say scientists

It is known that our galaxy is being pulled through space, but cosmologists suspected it was being pushed as well - and new research might confirm it
The Milky Way is being "pushed" through space by a cosmic dead zone that lurks half a billion light years from Earth, researchers claim.
Located on the far side of the constellation of Lacerta, the Lizard, the vast patch of nothingness appears to have a striking dearth of galaxies compared to the rest of its cosmic neighbourhood.
