Hi Marilyn,

I've recently learned of your call for "distant horizons" and thought you might enjoy reading about this newly discovered infinite source of "abundance" the Universe has to offer. Can you envisage a nicer symbolic gift for all the planet’s women on Valentine’s Day?

What you see below is not a photo. But what it depicts is rather amazing. It is a crystallized white dwarf named BPM 37093. A white dwarf is the hot core of a star, left over after the star uses up its nuclear fuel and dies. It is made mostly of carbon and is coated by a thin layer of hydrogen and helium gases.

And in this case it has now been found that the core of this star is SOLID
DIAMOND. It is 2,500 miles across and weighs 5 million trillion trillion pounds, which translates to approximately 10 billion trillion trillion carats, if you want to measure it as an earth diamond. Supposedly our sun will end its days as a diamond as well.
