A fact from Extraterrestrial diamonds appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 October 2017 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that extraterrestrial diamonds(pictured) in meteorites preserve their history from before the Solar System formed?
I decided to be bold and merge
Diamonds on Jupiter and Saturn into
Extraterrestrial diamonds. It does not make much sense to discuss Jupiter and Saturn apart from Uranus and Neptune, which are more solid candidates for having diamonds. In any case, the proposal by Delitsky and Baines was a talk at a scientific meeting, not a published article, and it met with some serious objections at the time (see
this article). It was never published, and I cannot find any mention of the subject since, so it is of questionable encyclopedic value; I have devoted a single sentence to it in this article. The rest of Diamonds on Jupiter and Saturn is a rambling promotion of Reginald B. Little. So I merged without copying over any of the content. The main authors of Diamonds on Jupiter and Saturn have not edited in years, so they won't mind.
