Abstract
A significant contribution to the large scale anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background is predicted. This contribution is the effect of Great Attractor-like structures located between the observer and his last scattering surface. This effect is only relevant in open backgrou nds having a density parameter smaller than 0.5. Computations are base d on the Tolman-Bondi solution of the Einstein equations.
