the earth is round , the moon is round, all other planets are round. is the universe round? and could our universe be just like a round planet but in an even bigger round universe, it beggars belief!!

I think it may have something to do with the center of gravity.

Just a thought.

The same reason a bubble is round - it is the simplest shape to take.

I haven't found anything on the internet to provide a more scientific explanation, but I consider the globular shape of celestial bodies to be the effect of the centrifugal force of spinning objects. But remember everything in the universe is not spherical. Galaxies can be elliptical, as are the orbits of planets, and spiral in shape. Asteroids can be of quite irregular shape as some photographs have confirmed.

I will look for more information.
