V-web representation of voids. Voids (expansion on three cardinal axes) are represented by solid surfaces, with the Local Void in black, the Hercules Void in blue, the Sculptor Void in Yellow, and other voids in green. Sheets (expansion on two axes, collapse on the third) are represented by transparent surfaces at an arbitrary eigenvalue. The locations and names of the deepest density troughs are carried over from previous figures. In the top panel, the view is from the reference direction, while in the lower panel the scene has been rotated to a view from negative SGX, SGY, positive SGZ.
