Ever wondered what it would be like to live on a planet made entirely of diamonds?
Well, 55 Cancri e might be as close as we can get to that reality.
Astronomers have discovered this planet, and it’s believed to be mostly made of carbon—meaning it could be loaded with diamonds! The extreme heat and pressure on this planet could even cause diamond rain—droplets of pure diamond falling from the sky like shimmering jewels! ️
55 Cancri e is about 40 light-years away in the constellation Cancer, and it's two times the size of Earth. But if you're dreaming of a vacation there, you might want to reconsider. Temperatures can soar to 4,000°F (2,200°C)—enough to melt any earthly material.
Isn't it mind-blowing to think that something so beautiful could exist so far away? Imagine living in a world where the sky rains diamonds...
