NASA discovered Saturn’s 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.

Diamonds must be worthless there
Just like water here, I guess...

Visit the water isle in your grocery store and look at the prices.

“It’s not until 40,000km down, that the major source of Saturn’s energy is revealed.
“Here the pressure is so strong that gasses behave like liquid metal – molten helium falls like rain through hydrogen and releases incredible amounts of heat.
“We think this is the extraordinary heat source that has been helping to drive Saturn’s weather.”

The best info is usually at the bottom of the article.
Precisely.
Something like 72% of the earth’s surface is covered with water, even if what passes for a surface on Saturn has a similar percentage of diamond, that doesn’t necessary mean it has no value.
Whisky is for drinkin’ water is for fightin’!

Good thing for the image search!
Do the photons die after I close the image?

Wait just a second. Yesterday NASA scientists were all agog about finding traces of methane on Mars, the implication being that methane was indicative of life processes.
Are those wily scientists now proclaiming that these massive amounts of methane on Saturn are indicative of massive amounts of life?

It is said the first and last paragraph contains most of the information.
Not wanting to drill down through 40k of whatever, the first paragraph works for me.

From the mouth of John Lennon:
“When the Beatles were depressed-thinking the group was going nowhere, and this is a shitty deal, and we’re in a shitty dressing room-I’d say, ‘Where are we going, fellas?’ And they’d go, ‘To the top, Johnny!’
And I’d say, ‘Where’s that fellas?’ and they’d say, ‘To the toppermost of the poppermost!’ and I’d say, ‘Right!’ Then we’d all sort of cheer up.”

(They make great fake diamonds these days. I wouldn’t let my husband buy a real one.)
That’s gonna mess with my head for a while.
Thanks fieldmarshaldj.

So let me get this straight. We have spy satellites that can take pictures of an individual on earth. Tell what the atposphere and weather is like on a planet with no probe in it, but we can’t predict global warming or take a picture of Apollo 11’s lunar module after 50 years?
