Score! NASA spots soccer-ball shape buckyballs in space The Spitzer infrared telescope discovers solid buckyballs in space for the first time, giving astronomers clues into the nature of matter in deep space. Originally posted at News - Cutting Edge NASA Detects Solid Buckyballs In Space Astronomers using the Spitzer Space Telescope have detected solid buckyballs about 6,500 light years from Earth. NASA telescope detects massive cloud of 'buckyballs' hurtling through space Space carbon spheres, known as buckyballs have recently been discovered by NASA astronomers. Scientists compare these tiny particle clouds to soccer balls, or oranges in a crate.

Scientists compare these tiny particle clouds to soccer balls, or oranges in a crate. NASA finds space buckyballs in solid form NASA astronomers have positively identified space buckyballs in a solid form. Prior to this important discovery, the microscopic carbon spheres were found only in gas form within the cosmos. read more NASA finds solid buckyballs in space Washington, Feb 23 : Astronomers using data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope have, for the first time, discovered buckyballs in a solid form in space. Prior to this discovery, the microscopic carbon spheres had been found only in gas form. NASA's Spitzer Finds Solid Buckyballs in Space NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has detected the solid form of buckyballs in space for the first time. To form a solid particle, the buckyballs must stack together, as illustrated in this artist's concept showing the very beginnings of the process. Solid Buckyballs in Space are Stacked Like 'Oranges in a Crate' From a JPL press release: Astronomers using data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope have, for the first time, discovered buckyballs in a solid form in space. Prior to this discovery, the microscopic carbon spheres had been found only in gas form in the cosmos. The new work, led by Prof. Nye Evans of Keele University, [...] Spitzer finds solid buckyballs in space (PhysOrg.com) -- Astronomers using data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope have, for the first time, discovered buckyballs in a solid form in space. Prior to this discovery, the microscopic carbon spheres had been found only in gas form in the cosmos. Researchers Discover Solid-State Buckyballs In Space [ Watch the Video ] For the first time ever, astronomers have discovered buckminsterfullerines existing in a solid form in space, according to a study published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Ian O'Neill of Discovery News reports that buckminsterfullerines (also known as buckyballs) are "a geodesic molecular ordering of 60 carbon atoms that resemble the domes ...
