Meh. :yeahsure: [/quote] why are they special in the first place? [/quote] I bet there are whole planets made from every mineral we have on earth. [/quote] actually a "diamond planet" would have to result from it's being a dead star. in fact, a star very much like our sun, our sun being destined to be a white dwarf and then a cold diamond abou 7,000 miles in diameter. so, if this "diamond planet" is indeed orbiting a star, then during their mutual "alive" stage they had to be a binary star system, and now one of the stars have died. .

Original Message
Astronomers have spotted an exotic planet that seems to be made of diamond racing around a tiny star in our galactic backyard.
