A planet full of diamonds!!!

"DIAMONDS are a Girl's best frriend" and now an entire planet could be our best friend!

Researchers at the U.S. Yale University have discovered a terrestrial planets, consisting of at least one third of diamonds - which is three times the mass of Earth in gemstones!

The planet "55 Cancri e" is about twice as large, and eight times as massive as the Earth, and only 40 light years away. Researchers were initially assumed that the chemical composition of the earth is similar and called him because of his size, "super-Earth". Is only now, the scientists have found that "55 Cancri e" consists of one third of diamonds, a condensed form of carbon.

"The surface of this planet is probably covered with graphite and diamond - and not with water and granite," said Nikku Madhusudhan, scientists at the U.S. elite Yale University. "So this is the first view of a rocky world, whose chemical composition is very different from the Earth."

The planet rotates very fast to its sun - its year lasts just 18 hours! Because it passes so close to the sun, where there are temperatures of 2148 degrees on average. Life is impossible on "55 Cancri e".

I want it, now now :)
