... Credit Copyright: WMAP Science Team , NASA Explanation: How could part of the early universe be so cold? No one is sure, and many astronomers now think that the CMB Cold Spot on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation is not particularly noteworthy. ... Quite possibly, though, even a more mundane universe might be expected to show such a statistical peculiarity , and so explanations of the CMB Cold Spot like these might say more about human imagination than the early universe. ...

. Dark matter forms the foundation for all cosmic structure, and its annihilation, decay, or other particle interactions have the potential to affect early structure formation by injecting energy into local gas. I will discuss the status of the quest to identify dark matter, major unsolved problems relevant to the abundance and structure of dark matter halos, and how dark matter annihilation energy can affect the binding of gas within the earliest cosmic structures.
