This diamond planet is real and nobody talks about it π πͺ #CosmicTake #SpaceFacts #ShortsAdded:
There's a planet made of diamonds and it's real.
Quick question, what's the most expensive thing in the universe? Because there's an actual planet out there made entirely of diamonds and it's twice the size of Earth.
Scientists call it 55 Cancri a super Earth so [music] hot its surface is basically liquid diamond. The pressure inside is so insane [music] it crystallizes carbon straight into diamond. The whole mantle diamond and it's only 40 light years away. Close enough to see with a telescope just far [music] enough that we can never touch it.
Part three is even crazier.
