The first CfA Survey is now over 90% spectroscopically complete. Over 60% of all galaxies exhibit detectable emission lines. We have also completed five slices of the Center for Astrophysics (CfA) redshift survey extension. The geometry of the structures in the first slice persists; galaxies are distributed on thin surfaces of “bubble-like” structures. Empty regions or “voids” are common, come in a variety of sizes ranging up to 5,000 km s−1, and are underdense by factors of up to 5 w.r.t. the mean. These voids fill ∼ 80% of the volume of the local universe. Clusters of galaxies lie at the interstices of bubbles; some of the poor Abell clusters do not exist as “fingers” in redshift space. The surfaces are very thin with an average FWHM less than 500 km s−1 in redshift space (σ ∼ 200 to 250 km s−1).
