Default Scientists find the most perfectly round star in the universe!

Kepler 11145123, a star about 5,000 light-years from Earth, has been
classified as the roundest natural object in the universe thus far
discovered.

Kepler 11145123 isn’t a perfect sphere, but it’s much closer than other
stars and planets. The star is only four miles bigger at the equator
than the poles, whereas Earth is 13 miles bigger at the equator than the
poles and the Sun is six miles bigger at the equator.

You are returning to your old bad habit, Sam.
