I'm lost on what to do on this part

I'm not really sure how to put the origin Let's not forget about the transform origin! Set the .star element's transform origin to its center.

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

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

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

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

.star { 
  transition: transform .8s; 
  transform-origin: 180px 180px;
}

You had the origin in your transition declaration: transition: transform .8s 50% 50%;

They wanted you to move it out into a separate transform-origin declaration. But you also need to change the values from 50% 50% to the cx and cy values of the circle element:

<circle class="star-bg" fill="#40adcf" stroke="#fff" stroke-width="6" cx="180" cy="180" r="108.3"/>

and make the units px.
