Xavier Onassiss Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Apparently, that's what this newly discovered planet is made of: http://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode.cfm?id=diamond-world-discovered-by-astrono-11-08-25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Re: More cosmic weirdness: diamond planet Doggone it, you beat me to posting this. Good Job. Here's another page on the story-- http://news.yahoo.com/surprise-alien-planet-made-diamond-discovered-181402842.html I was thinking this could be something out of Doctor Who. First we have Vogon, the Planet Of Gold (bane of the Cybermen) and now we have the Planet Of Diamond. What should we call it, I wonder?

RexMundi Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Re: More cosmic weirdness: diamond planet I would call it "Stay Away!" because that's not exactly the most friendly of environments there that caused that to occur heh. Still though cool article. Now to make sure the guys in Antwerp don't go building a Project Orion transport to run out and fetch it. ~Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the remains of a White Dwarf. Name the pulsar, Durin's Bane. It's what destroyed and consumed (most of) the White Dwarf. Lucius Alexander The palindromedary says that's a lot of carats....

Midas Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Re: More cosmic weirdness: diamond planet Name the planet, Durin's Tomb. It's the remains of a White Dwarf. Name the pulsar, Durin's Bane. It's what destroyed and consumed (most of) the White Dwarf. Lucius Alexander The palindromedary says that's a lot of carats.... Repped: That works. I'd suggest the "shadow planet" from the other thread would be a good Durin's Bane. (wouldn't work cosmicly, but still...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
