Recent analysis of the WMAP microwave background data has suggested the possibility of a suppression along a common axis in the quadrupole and octopole moments. If this is not an artifact of the analysis or an accident of cosmic variance then a possible explanation may be that we live in a topologically compact universe with one compact dimension inside the surface of last scattering. The symmetry axis of this dimension is then along the axis of suppression. The simplest possibility is a flat 3-torus. Using this guide to the location of the axis, other techniques can be used to pinpoint the axis. In this poster, a new method is given here for locating the axis in the case of the 3-torus, by geometrically correlating distant astrophysical objects, without relying on the error-prone determination of depth from redshift. Results are presented from current catalog data.
