This is amazing news. Astronomers have found a Round Thing in space:

As you know, I am a big fan of Round Things, having made many of them lately with my round knitting loom.
I have a big argument going with engineers, because I make them mad when I say that Nature does not like to make Square Things. This makes them scurry to find Square Things like salt crystals...I didn't say 'never'. Just 'not usually'. But the astronomers found an almost perfectly Round Thing. How cool is that?
Have you ever seen a square turtle? Yeah, they call it a box turtle, but...

That one looks cross. Probably because somebody tried to fit it into a square box.
Let us now praise circularity in the universe...
