Astronomers discovered a planet twice the size of the planet is a main component of the diamond orbiting a star can be seen with the naked eye.
And spins rocky planet which astronomers called the name (Kankera
55) around a star like the sun on the 40 light-years away. A light-year is the distance light travels in a year is estimated at 9.46 trillion miles. There planet in the cancer group and spins very quickly make a year in which expire within 18 hours only accounts planet.
The planet discovered a US-French research team found that the diameter of twice the diameter of the Earth, but more as the density of mass eight times the mass of the earth is also very hot because the heat up on the roof to 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 planet's mass, at least - an estimated three times the mass of the planet - is a diamond.
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.
