Massive Diamond Planet Orbits Neutron Star, Astronomers Find Video

Using the giant Parkes Radio Telescope in New South Wales, Australia, astrophysicists have found an incredibly dense planet comprised of crystalized carbon -- the stuff of diamonds -- in orbit about a pulsar.

@michelangelocrisis Scumbag NASA should? be a meme :D

I love science ?

@VideoFromSpace ...
@VideoFromSpace Interesting, so the leftover carbon became condensed... so the pulsar transformed a star into a diamond planet... That's amazing and? awesome lol.

I guess Rainbow Brite and the Starstealer had it? right!

@HotXingVG even if ...
@HotXingVG even if we could, its a planet orbiting a pulsar extremely close--the amount of gravity we'd feel actually walking around on the surface of it would prob be millions? of times stronger than what we feel on earth--so in other words we couldnt walk on it--or get anywhere near it without being ripped to shreds :P

Scumbag Nasa.......they cancel space the space program then show us a planet full of diamonds.?

This thing has ...
This thing has about as? much mass as Jupiter, so setting up a mining colony would be quite difficult.

@myuu22 the ...
@myuu22 the researchers can determine the size from images on the radio telescope and then use the lensing? caused by the gravity of the object to determine its mass then used the equation density = mass/volume to calculate its density

how was the density ...
how was the density of? the planet determined?

@pressure57 I dont ...
@pressure57 I dont care about worth, jewelry is useless. But we can use the diamond for other things. Some really expensive circuits need diamonds. So that would actually make alot of needed equipment cheaper. That? would actually help.

@HotXingVG If we ...
@HotXingVG If we were able to reach that giant diamond... the value of diamonds would be s**t for worth... because we'd be mining a DIAMOND PLANET... we'd? have diamonds in our cereal ._.

Great work with the ...
Great work with the video Professor and team! I LOVE neutron stars. Very enigmatic and strong I loved the part of the animation where the radio waves of the pulsar stream right towards you. If I rubbed a lantern and a Genie popped out to grant me three wishes, I'd wish I could touch a? neutron star. Three times.

Set that on a ring.?

@VideoFromSpace youve gotta be creative you could send a robot there and have it harvest it?

@Erg0lite Also, how ...
@Erg0lite Also, how ignorant can you get? Diamond? Beautiful? Get real. People dont care about beauty and how rare stuff is. People don't want diamonds earrings and rings because they look nice, they want it because it's overly expensive, and that will? make people look rich. Maybe humans should revert back to thinking using instinct. Free will has given us feeling, and that has lead to bad judgement.
