The global geometry of the universe is in principle as observable an attribute as the local curvature. Topology leads to pattern formation in the hot and cold spots in the CMB. We propose a scheme which uses the universe's spots to observe global geometry in a manner analogous to the use of multiple images of a gravitationally lensed quasar to study the geometry of the lens. We present correlated spheres which clearly show topological pattern formation for compact spaces. These examples illustrate how observations of the universe's spots can determine the full geometry of the universe.
