A number of years ago , it was conjectured that space was finite and shaped like a dodecahedron. The claim was
"data from the first year of the WMAP satellite – unveiled in February - agreed with the predictions of the standard big bang plus inflation model of cosmology for regions of space separated by small angles. However, on larger angular scales – greater than 60° - the WMAP observations were significantly lower than this model predicted".

How does this conjecture stand in light of the Planck data ?
