Astronomers have found a diamond that size is as big as a planet in space . Heavy diamond planet was reportedly around ten billion trillion trillion carats or five million trillion trillion pounds ...!
The planet is composed of carbon crystal diamonds 4,000 kilometers in diameter and is located at a distance of 50 light years from Earth ( in the constellation Centaurus ) .
Scientists believe that the diamond is the " heart " of a star that has been " extinct " at which time " life " of the star's first glowing like the sun . Astronomers named the diamond planet " Lucy " as a tribute to the Beatles song " Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds . "
" You would need a magnifying glass is used as a gem expert with the size of the size of the Sun to assess the diamond planet class ( grading report ) ! " Says astronomer Travis Metcalfe ( Harvard - Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics ) , who leads the research team that discovered the giant diamond .
The cosmic stone exceeds all sizes diamond ever found on Earth . The maximum size of the diamond on earth is weighing 546 carats was found in the Republic of South Africa named , Africa Star ( Star of Africa ) , which is used in the crown of the British empire . Origin of the largest diamond is a diamond weighing 3,100 carats .
Lucy , also known as BPM 37093 , is actually a white dwarf ( white dwarf core ) which crystallized . Please see also the article of notegolddiamond.blogspot.com about how the earth formed a diamond rock . White dwarf is a white dwarf core is very hot which is the core of a star , and will be left over after the star spent nuclear fuel and its dim and die . Most of the elements consist of carbon and is coated by a thin layer of hydrogen and helium gas .
White Dwarf will form a ring like a giant gong , " By measuring the ' pulsations ' them , we can learn the hidden part of the white dwarf , like seismograph measurements of earthquakes allow geologists to study the interior of the Earth . We realize that the carbon interior of a white dwarf this has been compacted to then form the galaxy 's largest diamond , "says Metcalfe .
Astronomers say that our sun will die in five billion years and become a white dwarf as well . Approximately two billion years after it would turn into a similar diamond that will continue to sparkle in the center of the solar system forever .
