Space.com says the feature is in the constellation Eridanus.
Huge Hole Found in the Universe | Space
That's just west of Orion on the sky. The press release apparently doesn't give coordinates, but Eridanus was a constellation to the ancients. It's probably no good claiming "they drew the boundaries different back then." Eridanus was the sky counterpart of the Nile or the Euphrates, depending on where you lived in the old Middle East.
No prophecy that I can see here....
AbE: the galactic coordinates of this hole, l=209 and b=-57, are close to RA 3h15m and dec -20. That's over 30 degrees from the closest part of Orion.

Re: Admins Discussing Topic
Give me something to promote, Buz, and I'll do it. Tau-4 Eridani isn't in the Bible; none of Eridanus is. Tell me what you have to talk about and I'll promote it.

Re: Admins Discussing Topic
I said I have search links (at least two of them) which state that this empty corridor is in the Orion Constellation.
Then post those puppies!
This one, this one, and my calculation of coordinates from galactic to equatorial all say it's in Eridanus. Don't confuse the lanes in the relatively nearby Orion Nebula with this new find - this thing is a billion times bigger.
Edited by AdminCoragyps, : million ---> billion

Re: Admins Discussing Topic
You and AdminPaul are proceeding into the topic matter with your stuff
The "stuff" I have offered is the location of this "void" on the sky. It's not in Orion. It's not very close to Orion. Your sources are mistaken.
Your question in the OP was "Which region of the constellation is this new relatively empty corridor or space located in?" The answer is: "it isn't."
