I have this set... .star { transform-origin: 50% 50%; } I also tried the absolute position using 180px 180px also

No matter what I try, it keeps failing me on this.

It makes no sense, even though it's working in preview and it's semantic. Am I missing something or is it a bug in the Challenge?

Hi Kevin Smothers,

The code challenge didn't ask for an ease-out timing function. When included, it threw off the next task. I just fixed it to accept it, though. Thanks! :)

Hi Kevin,

Try declaring transform-origin before the transition property.

This may just be a bug in the workspace for this specific question.

So instead of this 

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

Try this 

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

}
