Spitzer Finds Unusual Structures on This Week @ NASA

Astronomers using data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope have, for the first time, discovered buckyballs in a solid form in space: around a pair of stars 65-hundred light-years from Earth. Until now, the microscopic carbon spheres had been found only in gas form. Named for their resemblance to the geodesic domes drawn by late architect Buckminster Fuller, buckyballs are made up of 60 carbon molecules arranged into a hollow sphere, like a soccer ball. Their unusual structure makes them ideal candidates for electrical and chemical applications on Earth, including superconducting materials, medicines, water purification and armor. Also, Space Agencies Leaders meet in Canada, NASA's top leaders continued with their field center visits after rollout of the president's proposed 2013 budget, The 50th anniversary celebration of John Glenn's historic Friendship 7 flight continued in Cleveland and NASA celebrates Women's History Month 2012.

When I was young, those spaceballs were called fullerene. Then something happened.

@MsBambamsam It´s called "the truth about 2012"

[@sstan1337]

@MsBambamsam They answered that question about 2 mo ago. Take a look on the channel page. The answer btw was no, there is no evidence the world will end in 2012 I hope you sleep better now :-)

Omg. the "first" comments are still going on...

[@ONLYYOUKICK]

looked

[@i_Hally]

is it just the same 300 people that watch this on a weekly basis? Why is your viewership so low?

[@KatManx2006]

then why do "THEY" when they are making all these great discoveries?

I've always wondered why NASA bothers with African American month, whats it got to do with science and exploring the universe(note i know all about race history already but why those NASA act like Jesus is coming in that month).
