WMAP cold spot hole in universe
|
try entering into google earth sky
03 11 00.00 - 20 36 00.0
then google earth properties says lat long
-20.6°
-132.25°
I worked this by iteration to get the published location
centered at galactic coordinates lII , bII = 209◦, -57◦.

Re: WMAP cold spot hole in universe

The only problem is that there is nothing there.
but at -20.9157° -131.152° there is a large concentration of matter (the question mark).
At -5.59418° -133.899° however, there is a large blue hole (pink circle).

I guess that i have may have used a negative colourised Wmap of that region.
