FYI QGP is not the same as quarks and gluons being released in a cosmic ray collision with a planetary or solar body. My charming analogy for this one is the difference between peas and carrots vs. peas and carrots in a bubbling soup pot.
All hail the great analogy king and bow down to him!
ps. I also posted a link from a previous collider experiment in 2000(I believe) where they think they created it but it didn't last long enough for the detectors to analyze it at that time.
