A new analysis is presented of the angular correlation function C(Ξ)
of cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature at large angular separation,
based on published maps derived from {\sl WMAP} and {\sl Planck} satellite
data, using different models of astrophysical foregrounds. It is found that
using a common analysis, the results from the two satellites are very similar.
In particular, it is found that previously published differences between
measured values of C(Ξ) near Ξ=90β arise mainly from
different choices of masks in regions of largest Galactic emissions, and that
demonstrated measurement biases are reduced by eliminating masks altogether.
Maps from both satellites are shown to agree with C(90β)=0 to within
estimated statistical and systematic errors, consistent with an exact symmetry
predicted in a new holographic quantum model of inflation.Comment: resubmitted to ApJ Letters, with revisions in response to referee
