It’s so awesome to think that there’s an entire planet made out of diamonds. If anyone got their hands on it, they would most likely be filled with greed. There’s so much money you could make off of a giant diamond with a diameter of 20 km. If there are planets made of diamonds, it makes you wonder what other types of planets are out there. Whethere they be topaz or emerald. There could be an entire planet made from the eruption of volcanoes, similar to how an island is formed. Our universe is so vast; we’re not even close to understanding a little bit of all that it has to offer.

Scientists discover the diamond planet
Madison G. -- Researchers from Swineburne University of Technology in Melbourne have discovered what they believe to be a planet made of diamonds. It was said to be huge star that existed at one time in our galaxy, but is now just the remnants of that star. It has a diameter of about 20 KM and emits electromagnetic radiation. What researchers found strange about this planet was that the beams of radiation it emitted were at different angles. This attributed to their conclusion of the planet being one huge diamond. It is 40 % the size of Jupiter but contains a mass that is slightly larger than that of Jupiter’s. Researchers suggest that this planet originated from carbon and oxygen due to its density. This planet is 4000 light years away from earth and resides in the constellation of Serpens.
