Diamonds On The Moon? You Bet!!
Reuters News Service reports this morning that several planets in our galaxy could harbor an unexpected treasure: a thick layer of diamonds hiding under the surface.
Princeton University astronomer Marc Kuchner said in a telephone news conference that though no diamond planet exists in our solar system, some planets orbiting other stars in the Milky Way might have enough carbon to produce a diamond layer.
Carbon planets might form more like some meteorites than like Earth, which is believed to have condensed from a disk of gas orbiting the sun.
Dwindling supplies of high quality diamond rough here on Earth may now be looked at by the light of the Moon.
