Scientists Discovered a Diamond Planet 40 Light Years Away. It Is Larger Than Earth.

55 Cancri e is a super-Earth orbiting so close to its star that a year lasts 18 hours. In 2012 Yale University scientists analyzed its mass and density and concluded the planet's interior is composed largely of crystallized carbon — diamond — under conditions of extreme pressure. The diamond layer alone is estimated to be three times the mass of Earth. The planet's surface temperature reaches 2,700 degrees Celsius. It orbits so fast that standing on it — if anything could — you would complete a full year before finishing this sentence.
