Figure 2. A visual inspection of the ILC map reveals four elon-
gated valleys of cooler temperature that stretch from about the
Galactic equator to nearly the south Galactic pole. Ridges of
warmer than average temperature lie between the cooler fingers.
These feature are a consequence of large scale power in the south-
ern sky. It is more difficult to discern as much large scale power
in the northern sky. Cold Spot I is located near the northernmost
part of one of the fingers, while Cold Spot II (within the red curve)
is near the southernmost part of another finger.

WMAP 7-year Results Released - January 26, 2010
WMAP now places 50% tighter limits on the standard model of cosmology (Cold Dark Matter and a Cosmological Constant in a flat universe), and there is no compelling sign of deviations from this model.
