## Resource

What if the universe just dropped the smoothest mystery ever? Scientists have discovered a perfectly round sphere of plasma floating in deep space — and it’s freaking everybody out.

Hit play and dive into the most mind-bending space mystery scientists are trying to solve right now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
