Astronomers discover a planet at least three of diamonds

Astronomers discovered a planet twice the size of the diamond planet is the main ingredient which revolves around a star can be seen with the naked eye.

And spins planet rock dubbed astronomers name "Kankera 55" around a star like the sun on a 40 light-years away, and the light-year is the distance light travels in a year and an estimated 9.46 trillion miles, and no planet in a range of cancer and spins very quickly make the year in which expire within 18 hours, only accounts for the planet.

He discovered a research team of U.S. French planet that has a diameter twice the diameter of the Earth and reach mass to eight times the mass, and gives the planet the same density of the Earth, although planets diamond observed by the thought denser much, and is characterized by the planet also strongly temperature as the temperature reaches the surfaceto 1648 degrees Celsius.

And said Nico Madehosodhan the researcher at Yale University who is due to publish the results of his research in the journal (Astrophysics), "the surface of this planet probably covered with graphite and diamonds no water and granite."

The study estimated that participated in Olivier Muasis, a researcher at the Institute of Astrophysics in Toulouse, France, that a third of the mass of the planet, at least - an estimated three times the mass of the earth - a diamond may be, according to the reported news agency "Reuters".

And discovered by diamond planets was the key element, but this is the first time where discovers a planet orbiting a star like the sun, which is subject to a detailed study of this form.
