Where exactly is that diamond star?

Hi,

Agent 007 wants to get that diamond for her majesty. It's in the
constellation Centaurus. But where in the
constellation?
Q couldn't Google it out.

The catalogue reference is apparently BPM 37093, which should give you a
start.
That came from an article in New Scientist
http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99994692 which made it
clear just how silly and wrong this "diamond" idea is. For one thing
it's mostly oxygen, and for another "the pressure strips electrons from
the atoms, leaving the nuclei to form a crystal lattice surrounded by a
sea of electrons".
That sounds much more like a metal to me.
