Scientists are BAFFLED after discovering a perfect sphere emitting radio signals from deep space
It looks like an alien world, or a floating snow globe suspended in space.
At first glance it could even be a cue ball on a snooker table.
But this perfect sphere, hiding in our Milky Way galaxy trillions of miles away, is leaving scientists baffled.
The mysterious round object with ‘remarkable circular symmetry’ is defying current space theories, making its origin and nature unclear.
Picked up by Australia’s ASKAP telescope, researchers think it is probably expanding, although it is invisible to the naked eye.
They have named it Teleios which comes from ancient Greek and means ‘complete’ or ‘perfect’ due to its stunning shape.
Located in our galaxy, Teleios could be up to 157 light-years in diameter.
‘The most obvious characteristic of Teleios is its remarkable circular symmetry, coupled with a low surface brightness,’ say the international team of researchers.
