~~ ...from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope~~
~~Okay, so, what they did observed was in the gamma ray spectrum. But now, they are talking about the cosmological microwave background (CMB) and signals from the big Bang at less than 1 second. Seems very surprising ... and it seems to contradict the Big Bang Theory.~~

... โ€œWe found a gamma-ray dipole, but its peak is located in the southern sky, far from the CMBโ€™s, and its magnitude is 10 times greater than what we would expect from our motion,โ€ ...

Okay, maybe this time I get it : those dipoles, the one from the CBM and the one from the gamma spectrum, are analogs. So it implies that they would extend to the edges of the visible universe.
And since the limit of the visible universe is thought to be the origin of the Big Bang (because of this wrong theory) physicists are now confounded (like with many other recent observations).
