In the article below at the Astronomy Magazine, you will find more information about this: “The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the fingerprint of the Big Bang. This remnant radiation occurs throughout the sky, with a temperature 2.73 degrees above absolute zero (about -454 degrees Fahrenheit, or -270 Celsius). While the CMB is fairly uniform, it does have some (very small) fluctuations. These fluctuations hold the key to details about both the Big Bang and the very early lifetime of the universe. Now, researchers have determined that a Cold Spot, an area of the CMB 0.00015 degrees below its surroundings, isn’t due to a lack of matter in the area, as previously thought. Ruling out this mundane possibility leaves open t
