Diamonds from space

Diamonds are formed by the intense heat and pressure of the Earth’s interior working over long periods. But exact opposite conditions, extremely low pressures and temperatures that dip to minus 400 degrees Fahrenheit creates diamonds in space. These space diamonds are 25,000 times smaller than a grain of sand and found in meteorites. Space diamonds are made of carbon, the building block of all life on Earth, studying them may help scientists understand how carbon-rich molecules develop
