Mostly too small to harvest, or the space race could pay for itself.

Stars are made almost entirely of hydrogen and helium with traces of other elements; diamonds are made of carbon. However, there are real diamonds in the sky, and they derive from the fiery furnaces that make stars shine. As stars fuse lighter elements, releasing energy, carbon is produced along with other elements via nuclear fusion. Eventually, a portion of these elements is released into the interstellar medium when stars die. Astronomers find carbon compounds throughout the interstellar medium including diamonds, the most compressed form of carbon. How do we know that there are diamonds in the sky? By comparing the astronomical spectra with laboratory spectra and calculated models of emission and absorption spectra. </SPAN></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4B5DE0EA-2E7D-4B20-AB1C-C461819D4526/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
