Hoag’s object

A ring of stars that circles in the sky
A cosmic jewel that sparkles in the dark
A galaxy that puzzles every eye
A mystery that no one can remark

What made this shape so perfect and so rare?
What force could tear a disk and leave a hole?
What secrets does this object have to share?
What story does this ring of fire hold?

Some say it was a lens that bent the light
Some say it was a crash that split the core
Some say it was a long and ancient fight
Some say it was a chance that we explore

But no one knows the answer for this sight
Hoag's object is a wonder and a plight
