Diamond Planet

[DarkTrinity]

Yes, a planet made primarily of carbon was recently discovered. Meaning the solid part of it is made of diamond. *o*
Sparkly planet, I wanna go ;D
"a year on planet diamond [is] just two hours long."

The point of this article isn't the perceived monetary value of the planet.


This is quite awesome.

I was going to say, wasn't it a star? Apparently it used to be a star in a binary system with a pulsar, so yes. Diamond Star, Diamond Planet... whatever. It's pretty cool.

Geez, I can't even wonder about something like that? That's a big freaking diamond. I knew someone would snap at me for no reason, but I didn't think it would be you.

Is it any surprise that one of the few female members we have is the one to make the topic about a planet made of diamond?   ;)

The value of diamonds will most definitely decrease drastically if one was to be able to mine that planet, aha. However, very awesome.

Your planet is now diamonds. (had to be done)

Hehe. :3
It's equally my love for astronomy and the vast things unknown out there that I find immensely intriguing.
But I will not deny that I love sparkly things ;D

Though I'm willing to bet that the surface of the planet is not just sparkly pretty clear diamonds. But how awesome would it be if you were to come near the planet and the entire thing DID sparkle like mad from the nearest star? *o*


@Lingus: I've heard it called a star, but I don't see how it could technically be called that, being as stars are just balls of gas and not solid? I just don't get that part o.o
