Lucy the diamond in the sky !

Hello,

Guess you have all heard about the gigantic diamond floating around space. What I think is weird is the name they have given this diamond, Lucy, after the Beatles song Lucy in the sky with diamonds. Ummm correct me if Im wrong but I didnt think this song was about actual diamonds !!!!!!! More about being off your head on something.

Them space people have been on the space dust again.

:lol: Dawn

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

Maybe its cos they're "Spaced Out" :D

You're right:

L_ucy in the S_ky with D_iamonds.
Capital letters are the source of that song.

eh? what diamond in the sky

Didn't John say it wasn't about LSD, and that he made the song out of a child's drawing?

Probably this.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- If anyone's ever promised you the sun, the moon and the stars, tell 'em you'll settle for BPM 37093.

The heart of that burned-out star with the no-nonsense name is a sparkling diamond that weighs a staggering 10 billion trillion trillion carats. That's one followed by 34 zeros.

The hunk of celestial bling is an estimated 2,500 miles across, said Travis Metcalfe, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

"You would need a jeweler's loupe the size of the sun to grade this diamond," said Metcalfe, who led the team that discovered the gem.

The diamond is a massive chunk of crystallized carbon that lies about 300 trillion miles from Earth, in the constellation Centaurus.

The galaxy's largest diamond is formally known as a white dwarf, or the hot core of a dead sun.

Astronomers have suspected for decades that white dwarfs crystallized, but only recently were able to verify the hypothesis.

A paper detailing the discovery has been submitted to The Astrophysical Journal Letters for publication.

they reckon it will happen to our sun one day in the distant future.

No the song wasnt about a drawing.

Apparently, it's so dense that a teaspoon of it would weigh several tonnes!!!!
