Astronomers found the largest Diamond of our lifetime in space, reportedly weighing 10 Billion, Trillion, Trillion Carats or 5 Million, Trillion Trillion pounds.

This Gigantic space Diamond is virtually a huge hunk of crystallized carbon, 4000 Kilometers in diameter.

The space Dianond has been christened "Lucy" in a tribute to the Beatles song "Lucy in the sky with Diamonds"

The priceless stone is floating in space at a distance of 50 light years- away, in the constellation Centaurus, Lucy, also called BPM 37093, is in fact a "Crystallized White Dwarf.

It is being believed that the Diamond is the heart of a dead star that use to shine like our sun.
Unfortunately, nobody will be able to lay their hand on the biggest Diamond ever, floating in space.

It has been the theory for decades that "White Dwarf Stars", cool and crystallize into carbon, a giant Diamond.

The largest Gem Quality Diamond ever found here on earth was the "Cullinan" discovered in 1905, the 530 carat Star of Africa in the Brittish Crown Jewels was cut from it.

There are many kinds of stars in the cosmos, the sun is part of a group of stars called Red Giants, Red Giants are very large, if our sun was a Red Giant it would extend well beyond the orbit of Mars swallowing the Earth in its atmosphere.

The stars continue fusing elements until it loses its shell of gases leaving behind a hot core of about 180,000 degrees fahrenheit.

Then the star begins to cool, the star pulsates as it burns helium in fusion reactions creating heavier and heavier elements until at the very end there is carbon and a very small amount of oxygen.

A star will spend Billions of years in this phase, the problem with the theory about the crystallization is that by the time the star has crystallized, it is no longer pulsating and is so cool, that they are impossible to detect.

But BPM 37093 or "Lucy" is the most massive known Dwarf Star, because it is so massive, the star is crystallizing on the inside while light and sound continue to pulsate from the surface.

By measuring those pulsations, we were able to study the hidden interior of the White Dwarf just like sesmograph measurements of Earthquakes allow geologists to study the interior of the earth.

We figured out that the carbon interior of this White Dwarf, has solidified to form the galaxy's largest Diamond ever.

Astronomer, Travis Metcalfe (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrphysics) who lead the team of researchers that discovered the Giant Gem.

Donald Trump and Bill Gates together couldn't afford it.

This same fate awaits our sun, in about 5 Billion years our sun will use up its hydrogen, expand into a red giant and at last become a dwarf star, a few billion years later after that our sun will have cooled and the core crystallized into a giant diamond that is truly forever.
