Astronomers have spotted a mysterious pair of icy balls in a remote region of the Milky Way.

The turquoise objects are 13,000 light-years apart and unrelated to each other.

They could be dense gas clouds or a never-before-seen type of star, but their icy appearance and distance from star-forming regions mean they can't yet be explained using known physics.
