Diamonds have been discovered planet




Astronomers have found a diamond the size of a planet in space. Weight diamond planet was reported around ten billion trillion trillion carats or five million trillion trillion pounds ...!


The planet is composed of carbon crystal diamond 4000 kilometers in diameter and is located at a distance of 50 light years from Earth (in the constellation Centaurus).

The scientists believe that the diamond is the "heart" of a star that has been "extinct" at which time "his life" before the stars were glowing like the sun. The astronomers named the planet's

"You'll need a magnifying glass like those used jeweler to the size of the size of the Sun to rate this diamond planet class (grading report)!" Says astronomer Travis Metcalfe (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics), who led a team of researchers who discovered this giant diamond .

This cosmic stone exceeds all sizes of diamonds ever found on Earth. The maximum size of the diamonds in the world is weighing 546 carats was found in the Republic of South Africa named, Africa Star (Star of Africa), which is used in British royal crown. Origin of the largest diamond is a diamond weighing 3 100 carats.


Lucy, also known as BPM 37 093, actually is a white dwarf (white dwarf core) which crystallized. Please see also the article from notegolddiamond.blogspot.com of how the Earth formed diamond stones. White dwarfs are a core of very hot white dwarf that is the core of a star, and will remain after the star spent nuclear fuel and its dim and then die. Most elements consist of carbon and coated by a thin layer of hydrogen and helium gas.

White Dwarf will form a giant ring like a gong, "By measuring the 'pulsations' them, we can examine the inside hidden from white dwarfs, like seismograph measurements of earthquakes allow geologists to examine the inside of the earth. We realize that the carbon interior of this white dwarf has solidified to later form the largest diamond in the galaxy, "says Metcalfe.

Astronomers say that our Sun will die in five billion years and become a white dwarf as well. About two billion years after it will turn into a similar diamond that will keep shining in the middle of the solar system forever.
