Default Anomaly Large Cold Spot and an Asymmetry in Temperatures on OppositeHemispheres of the Sky

Please take a look article about Planck data:

http://cosmiclog.nbcnews.com/_news/2...tatistics?lite


This graphic highlights anomalies seen in the Planck data. One Anomaly
is an Asymmetry in the Average Temperatures on Opposite Hemispheres of
the Sky (indicated by the curved line), with slightly higher average
temperatures in the southern ecliptic hemisphere and slightly lower
average temperatures in the northern ecliptic hemisphere. This runs
counter to the mainstream view that the universe should be broadly
similar in any direction we look. There Is Also a Cold Spot that
Extends Over a Patch of Sky That Is Much Larger Than Expected
(Circled). The anomalous regions have been enhanced here to make them
more clearly visible.

Do you have any ideas of cause of these anomalies?
