NASA Telescope Finds 'Buckyballs' in Space
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1144052 United States 10/27/2010 10:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	NASA Telescope Finds 'Buckyballs' in Space *Using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, researchers spotted the carbon spheres known as 'buckyballs' around three dying sun-like stars in the Milky Way and in the space between stars.* The telescope also detected the cosmic balls floating around a dying star in a nearby galaxy. "Buckyballs are carbon molecules in the shape of a cage and they are very tough and hard to destroy," said Kris Sellgren, a professor of astronomy at The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH. She noted that although life forms, let alone a single molecule of DNA, absolutely dwarf a buckyball, "single atoms or small molecules can become trapped and can survive inside the cage while the buckyball safely travels through the harsh conditions of space."
