Abstract
We review recent findings that the universe on its largest scales shows hints of violations of statistical isotropy, in particular alignment with the geometry and direction of motion of the solar system, and missing power at scales greater than 60°. We present the evidence, attempts to explain it using astrophysical, cosmological or instrumental mechanisms, and prospects for future understanding.
