Astronomers have recently discovered a planet 1200 light years away in the Constellation Centaurus, a planet made out of DIAMONDS. The mineral that is being doubled in scarcity each decade is as common as sand on this planet. The scientists believer the diamond - covered planet had once a diamond core that once shined as brightly as the sun. This is predicted to happen to the sun in seven billion years. Two billion years after its last wave of heat is given off, the sun could become a large, shining diamond that would stay in the center of the solar system (even though a formation of a black hole is slightly possible).
This planet is code named (Wasp-12b). Scientists have observed that the diamond littered planet has more carbon than oxygen, which would render normal humans unable to breath, or have an extreme difficulty breathing. As well as being trillions of miles away, the planet it nearly 2315 Celcius, which would make the actual excavation of the precious mineral near impossible.
Also, the planet is beaten "eaten away" by some unknown star the Hubble has detected, so the diamond-covered plant is estimated to last only 10 to 20 million years.
^^^^^^ The pic ---> The small, shiny white grains are diamonds. But this is just a professional artist's depiction of the planet, not an actual image.
