Look Up! Diamonds In Outer Space!
Discovery News reports that scientists have devised a way to use the Hubble Telescope to find diamonds in space, which might help them to understand how carbon-rich molecules develop.
Hubble Telescope.
According to to the report, diamonds form deep inside the planet under high temperature and pressure. In space, the opposite conditions exist with extremely low pressures and temperatures that dip to minus 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
In certain meteorites that have crashed to Earth, about three percent of the carbon inside is in the form of nanometer-sized diamonds. If the meteorites accurately reflect the composition of interstellar gas and dust, scientists believe that it would mean that every gram of cosmic cloud contains 100,000 trillion nanodiamonds.
Scientists have now devised a method to use bright light from a background star to reveal the telltale chemical fingerprints of diamonds’ tightly bonded carbon molecules.
The research, which appears in an upcoming issue of Astrophysical Journal, indicates that the nanodiamonds should radiate brightly in the infrared wavelengths that the Hubble Space Telescope is sensitive to.
The key to spotting the diamonds is high-energy ultraviolet light, which would cause the diamond’s carbon bonds to move as it passes through, producing a distinctive pattern in the infrared. "Hot" stars which radiate in ultraviolet are therefore the best places to find these diamonds.
Betcha you just can't wait for Space Travel to start!

Aw, this was a actually top quality post. In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and actual effort to create a great article... but what can I say... I procrastinate alot and never seem to get some thing performed.
