Abstract
Cosmology is studying the Universe as a whole. Stars and interstellar objects, clusters of galaxies and superclusters surrounding the giant void in which the galaxies are not observed is a striking manifestation of non-homogeneity in the distribution of luminous matter in the Universe. However, on scales larger than the size of the largest cosmological structures, the distribution of matter is nearly homogeneous and isotropic.
