Diamond In The Sky

Irish scientists discover a diamond star! Or, rather, a zirconium star. So, you know. A fake-bling star. And actually, the zirconium isn't in the star, the particles are dispersed in clouds that hover above the corona.*

Whatever, it is close enough for me.

Have I mentioned lately that I LOVE SCIENCE?

Now all we need to find is that pesky planet of gold and we will be all set . . .

* Any day that involves the usage of the words 'glitter clouds' is going to be an awesome day.
