        <path class="star" fill="#fff" stroke="#fff" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" d="M180 107.8l16.9 52.1h54.8l-44.3 32.2 16.9 52.1-44.3-32.2-44.3 32.2 16.9-52.1-44.3-32.2h54.8z"/>

Hi Pedro :)

I have had a go of the code challenge and this was the finishing code:

CSS -

.star-bg {
    transition: fill 1s;
}

.star-bg:hover {
    fill: steelblue;
}

.star {
  transition: transform .8s;
  transform-origin: 50% 50%;
}

.star:hover {
  transform: rotate(180deg);
}

For you html, all you need to do is wrap the two elements inside the SVG tag in a G tag a little like below:

<svg>

  <g>
    <!--  Other Stuff To Be Grouped Goes Here  -->
  </g>

</svg>

If you hadn't already got to the bottom of this I hope this helps :)
