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?

No biggie.

We already knew Saturn had rings, we just didn’t know they were diamond...

Saturn’s mysterious atmosphere boasts

Does Saturn also have a “spacious floor plan” and “breathtaking views?”

“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.

...these chunks of soot are likely transferred into diamonds.

I wouldn't trust these bozos to "code" a damn thing for me.

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?
