WOW Read this....World's Largest Diamond Discovered:
From the San Diego Union-Tribune, March 3, 2004
Astronomers have discovered floating in space the largest diamond known to mankind, roughly 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 carats. By contrast, the largest diamond ever unearthed was a comparatively insignificant 3,100 carats.
Dubbed "Lucy" after the Beatle's song, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," the celestial diamond is actually a white dwarf -- the cold remnants of a burned-out star.
"What's happened is that it hit the stage where its run out of heat," said Vince Ford of the Mount Stromlo Observatory in Australia. "Whats left is a big pile of cinders and metal."
Gravity has compressed these cinders and metal into a massive chunk of crystallized carbon -- a diamond, in other words. But don't look for it in jewelry stores anytime soon. First, its 2,500 miles in diameter and weighs 5 million trillion trillion pounds. Second, its 50 light years away, or roughly 310,500,000,000 miles.
Bish can you focus your camera on this please, I'd love to see the picture LOL
