Diamond Planet Found: What Does it Mean? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Astronomers have spotted an exotic planet that seems to be made of diamond racing around a tiny star in our galactic backyard. The new planet is far denser than any other known so far and consists largely of carbon. Because it is so dense, scientists calculate the carbon must be crystalline, so a large part of this strange world will effectively be diamond. Not just that, exoplanets, or planets outside of our solar system, that contain more carbon than Earth could be made out of diamonds, according to a new study. Does that mean we can mine this precious stone? Palki Sharma tells you.

Which is more rarer diamond ❎ tree ✅.

[@peaceleader7315]

I understand.

[@shahankhan7685]

Diamonds are only consider rarer because companies have a monopoly on them there are more diamonds tham trees and they are cheap and easy available everywhere and not an asset like diamonds

[@SomeOne-mm2wr]

One lesson I've learned in life. When they say "Scientists believe..." don't believe them. There are a lot of things scientists believe, but most of them are incorrect, and not worth making to the news

Heard about this planet some time ago.

[@Karan___sharma___]

I heard in 2017

[@paradronex403]

This is old news.. do your research and find new and timely news.

[@vikramj1000]

It had alreay been found around 20 years back .

[@bhanuchandra28]

That's wonderful.

[@ecneics7660]

I studied diamond forms under an intense atmosphere in the underground and it took millions of years. How does it now form so quickly?

[@sagarpandey6616]

What do you mean formed quickly. I was there all along . We just find it now.

[@waldensmith4796]

Great report on the Diamond Planet. This is a wealthy discovery of a planet with such enormous in a mineral which exemplifies elegance and beauty . A very educational report by Allyson. Keep up the good work Palki.

[@Karan___sharma___]

This is 6 year old news....why're you revealing this news now????

[@close_all_tabs]

Because Indians build the biggest diamond trading building in the world. Kind of a obsession with the bling bling rocks. And they are still over 5 years behind with news.

[@craigmackay4909]

Got to re-verify data long time in the making?

[@LunaBL206]

I think in space there will be a single big tree size of planet somwhere which we will call universe tree. And a planet made up of entirely gold, silver , meat and what else who now the possibility out there. Maybe some day we will found a living planet somwhere.

Not "almost impossible" to get to those planets. Say "impossible". Even getting to planets in our own solar system is hard enough.

To anyone reading my comment for a light year from now, "guys we seriously thought a 40 light year away place totally unreachable".

[@ranjitmenon1175]

Its possiable mine diamonds from those exo planet in the future but then when diamonds will be abundant the diamond might loose its value on earth it will be cheaply avaliable .

Sorry, we should not be talking about this. 41 light years is too far away. We can't reach it. Even if we could, diamonds will suddenly lose their value.

Not in a galaxy .... Its in our own galaxy Milkyway

Those who discovered it after getting broke (without money) they will sell to other people saying we are selling you this diamond 💎 planet. All the benefits from this planet is yours 😂😂😂

India will reach this planet infact Indians have already reached there Because India has become the second largest diamond trading hub in the world Through ours wisdom and sutra chanting we India has already mined the diamond and India is known to be the astrology of the world

Diamonds are forever.

Intelligent life forms on that planet use diamonds as skipping stones.

If people live on it, I bet I kilo of sand will cost more than I ton of diamond there. They don't have sand.

[@RaajNishanthS]

41 light years away does not qualify as "in a galaxy far far away"!

[@user-jn7bq8wh1e]

41 lights years currently impossible for us to reach u realise that right?! We can't even reach our closest star in a reasonable amount of time ..which is 4.24 light years away Besides they gotta make it seem interesting or else who'd watch such news

[@RaajNishanthS]

@@user-jn7bq8wh1e the Milky way galaxy is a hundred thousand light years across and about A thousand light years thick. So the planetary system that is 41 light years away from earth is practically in our neighbourhood, irrespective of whether we can reach it or not. And it is most definitely within our own galaxy the Milky way and not in any other galaxy that is far far away. But yes I agree the news presenter has to say whatever will make the news interesting

[@jhu2319]

This is not new we've known about this for years

[@theawesomeman9821]

If this planet brings the prices of diamonds down then that's a good thing for men those wanting buy engagement rings

well Saturn or Uranus has also diamond rains and they are actually close enough. Of course we haven't even reach our moon yet only we could send some satellites there.

[@close_all_tabs]

diamonds aren't that rare.

[@Tiasung]

That's not true. Diamond also has industrial value (when for example used as drill tip) due to its density. It would not lose its value.

[@TimelyInspiration-qp7yi]

They will rationalize its extraction the way they do to fossil fuels to make sure they make their profits. You want to joke with people who killed Nikola Tesla for trying to generate free electricity for everyone.
