Creation Moment 6/18/2018 - Creator's Glittering Stars (Literally)

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,...and the stars,
which thou hast ordained;
Psalm 8:3

"A faint and mysterious stream of microwaves emanating from young star systems far out in the Milky Way Galaxy could be caused by nanodiamonds about 1.5-2.2 nm.


For decades we have puzzled over the exact source of a peculiar type of faint microwave light emanating from a number of regions across the Milky Way,” said Professor Anna Scaife.

Mystery Signals Through the Milky Way"

Known as anomalous microwave emission (AME), this light is thought to come from energy released by rapidly spinning nanoparticles.

AME light was clearly seen in three of the 14 stars — V892 Tau, HD 97048, and MWC 297 — which are also the only three stars of the 14 that show the IR spectral signature of hydrogenated nanodiamonds.
Nanodiamonds likely form out of a superheated vapor of carbon atoms in highly energized star-forming regions.

In astronomy, nanodiamonds are special because their structure produces what is known as a ‘dipole moment’ — an arrangement of atoms that allows them to emit electromagnetic radiation when they spin.

Because these particles are so small they are able to spin exceptionally fast, emitting radiation in the microwave range rather than in the meter-wavelength range, where galactic and intergalactic radiation would probably drown it out."
