Discovered a planet made of diamonds

Recently, astronomers from Swinburne Technical University in Melbourne (Australia) discovered a planet made up of diamonds outside the solar system.

This strange planet is named the hidden crystal J1719-1438 , denser than all the previously known planets and mostly formed from carbon. Because carbon is so dense, scientists think they must be in crystal form or diamond.

The image of the planet is covered with diamonds.

"The evolutionary history and dense density of the planet show that it is made of carbon - meaning it is considered a giant rotating diamond outside our solar system , " said Matthew Bailes of the Greater Melbourne said.

Metaphor J1719-1438 is 4,000 light-years away from Earth or 1/8 of the distance from Earth to the center of the galaxy.Metaphysics are tiny neutron stars , invisible to the naked eye, only about 20 kilometers in diameter, rotating around their own axis hundreds of times per second and emitting radiation beams.

In addition to carbon, the newly discovered planet has the potential to contain oxygen. This gas layer has a lot of surface and gradually decreases in depth in the carbon-rich core of J1719-1438.

The dense density of the planet also makes it possible for scientists to guess on the planet that there is no presence of two lighter gases, hydrogen and helium, which are the main components of giant stars. term as Jupiter.
