Astronomers discover planet made of diamond

Kinda just makes diamonds seem... not so special anymore.

Meh.

Arthur c Clark wrote about a HUGE Diamond at the core of Jupiter in the Book "2001"

Co-incidence?

Some gold digger is going to be demanding that now :|

can you imagine if life somehow evolved on this planet? they would be wicked smart lol

why are they special in the first place?

And your reasoning for this is?

Thats crazy eh,they would love one made of gold.

Hmm..

Interesting.

I bet there are whole planets made from every mineral we have on earth.

Well while our early ancestors were playing with rocks and sticks, they are playing with diamonds. Would only seem logical that they would figure out math and science alot quicker and faster than us. Idk, I'm just making shit up. lol

Makes sense though, we would be thinking why is this rock round. While they are thinking why is this light bending in this diamond?

jewelry?

"Mr Shine, He Diamond" Terry Pratchett (THUD)

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.
