I did not claim the north sky was empty. I said, there is an empty space or area in the north sky.
I particular, I believe it’s behind/around Polaris. If we look around any object in space, and we continue to “zoom in” by increasing our resolution power of our device (currently hubble is about as good a visible light gets) we continue to see more structure.

The above is an image of the Polaris group (from hubble), that has no visible structure in the background. Note: this does not prove anything unless we continue to improve our resolution and can continue to see structure everywhere else other than in/around Polaris.
Now this is an great point of discussion — is there or is there not a uniform (loose definition here) distribution of mass in the universe? i.e. are there a empty vector through our universe?
You believe what is behind Polaris?

BTW, there are empty spaces all over our solar system, our home galaxy, interstellar space, the universe etc., which there are no visible planets, stars, galaxies, etc.
Outside of gravitational forces, there are even empty spaces between binary star systems.
How you picked out the Polaris region to imply or suggest something is hiding behind it, or that area of the universe seems empty, I absolutely have no idea.
