Sun is too round, say scientists
A new study shows that the Sun is one of the roundest objects ever measured
A mystery surrounds the shape of the Sun - it is just too perfectly round, scientists have said.
In fact the Sun turns out to be one of the roundest objects ever measured.
Scaled down to the size of a beach ball, the difference between the Sun's widest and narrowest diameters would be far less than the width of a human hair.
