Japanese researchers first spotted the 'icy balls' in 2021 .

They were spotted using the AKARI space telescope, which scanned the Milky Way in the infrared spectrum between 2006 and 2011 .

But new observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter /submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile have confirmed just how strange they are.

The light coming from these distant objects doesn't fit with anything predicted by current theories about star formation.
