NASA discovered Saturns mysterious atmosphere boasts diamonds raining down on the planet, it was revealed during a new documentary.
Below the upper atmosphere great clouds of water grow and lightning 10,000 times more powerful than on Earth illuminates the sky.
This lightning transforms the methane gas into huge clouds of soot.
He added: Deeper still, the pressure grows so great that these chunks of soot are likely transferred into diamonds.
But even these diamonds will succumb to the pressure of Saturn, liquifying.

First, the Russians flood the market, then the synthetics and this!!! The poor, poor guys over at DeBeers are getting hammered from all directions.
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

But even these diamonds will succumb to the pressure of Saturn, liquifying. So does this mean Saturn has a diamond cycle, like Earth has a water cycle?

And gold is worthless if you are alone and starving in the Arctic.
All depends on time and place.
