Astronomers at the University of Manchester discover an exotic diamond planet spinning around a pulsar PSR J1719-1438, in our Gallactic backyard. They say that may be the planet is made up of diamonds, which is very possible when Carbon is compressed to high pressures.
According to the study led by Professor Matthew Bailes of Swinburne University of Technology in Australia, the planet is very dense and since the molecules are packed in a very tight manner, they raised a doubt that it may be made up of diamonds. Its also found that it orbits its star every two hours and 10 minutes. Its doubted to be consisting of oxygen, carbon and any other heavy elements but in no case, hydrogen and helium owing to its dense nature.
Someone expresses his doubt as: "It's highly speculative, but if you shine a light on it, I can't see any reason why it wouldn't sparkle like a diamond" . May be I can explain this is because If the diamond isn't cut right then the light will be able to escape through all sides and the little bit of light that actually does make it back out the top will look dim. In this case, its just a planet and how can we expect it to be cut, in order to sparkle? So I wish this is really a DIAMOND n then my boy friend ;)
