Can somebody tell me where is my mistake?

I can not pass this challenge, somebody can help?

continents.py 
continents = [
    'Asia',
    'South America',
    'North America',
    'Africa',
    'Europe',
    'Antarctica',
    'Australia',
]

Hi, Victor!

You're very close! You've got an extra space and a missing space. There are a few ways to make this pass.

for continent in continents:
    print('*', continent)

or with concatenation (note the space in '* ')

for continent in continents:
    print('* ' + continent)

or if you want to get fancy, string literals (f-strings)

for continent in continents:
    print(f'* {continent}')

Hope this helps!
