Question
I've heard that O4 as a solid or liquid is red. So I was just wondering if you could show me a picture of 04 as a solid or liquid.

Answer
Well, I've learned something new today.  My current job doesn't give me much exposure to anything new and exciting, so it doesn't surprise me that I had never heard of this.  There's a short article on Wikipedia that has about ten references or so.  One of those may contain a photo, and could posibbly be available at your local library.  I think the article in Nature may be your best bet.  Good luck.
