Astrophysicists have discovered the roundest object in the universe, previously it was believed that our sun is the most round object in the universe.

No object can be perfectly round in the universe because of the revolution around its own orbit or of another object. The slower the object rotates on its own axis the more round its shape will be.
The difference of suns diameter at equator and poles in 10km while on Kepler the difference is 3 km, hence making it more round then Sun. You might think 3 km is a big difference but in comparison with Kepler’s 1.5 million Km radius it’s quite insignificant.
