On the Cover

Full-sky map of the quadrupole-plus-octopole contribution to the cosmic microwave backgound anisotropy. The map shows an unexpected correlation of the CMB with solar system physics, exemplified here by the threading of the ecliptic (dashed line) between a hot spot (left) and a cold spot (right).
