Scientists have offered new insights into the origin of diamonds in a group of stony meteorites called ureilites. The ureilites are fragments of a larger asteroidal parent body that was smashed to pieces through at least one major collision with another dwarf planet or asteroid. Ureilites commonly contain large quantities of carbon in the form of graphite and also diamonds in lesser abundance.
The research team investigated fragments of three diamond-bearing ureilites and, in one of these samples, found the largest single-crystal diamonds ever discovered in a ureilite. In addition to diamonds of up to 100 micrometers in size, numerous nests of nanodiamonds, as well as nanographite, were found in the ureilites.
Quite a lot has been going on:

"Shilique? His name is half man, half mystery. You don't know what he's mixed with. He's probably some extraterrestrial. It's probably an animal. We don't really know," Wise said Monday, maintaining a deadpan face. "But the way he comes out there every day at practice and what he does in the game is truly amazing. He's been stepping up for us, playing multiple roles, making big-time plays. I'm very excited to see what he can do in these next coming games."
3 Scientists Awarded Nobel Prize In Physics For Discoveries Related To Black Holes : NPR
The 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Roger Penrose of the University of Oxford, for demonstrating that black holes could exist in accordance with the theory of relativity; and to Reinhard Genzel of the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics and Andrea Gehz of the University of California Los Angeles, for the discovery of a compact solid at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.
As is customary, the announcement was made at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm. The chemistry, literature and peace prizes will be awarded this week, and the economics prize will be awarded next Monday.

Nobel in Physics for Work on the Black Hole
Three physicists were awarded the Nobel Prize this morning "for their discoveries about one of the most exotic phenomena in the universe, the black hole."
Roger Penrose of the University of Oxford won half of the award “for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity."
The other half of the award goes jointly to Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez “for the discovery of a supermassive compact object at the center of our galaxy."
