Abstract: (arXiv)

It is shown that the recent observations of NASA's explorer mission Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) hint that our Universe may possess a non-trivial topology. As an example we discuss the Picard space which is stretched out into an infinitely long horn but with finite volume.
