A new kind of planet was discovered recently. I hope CCP give us planets like this to play with in the near future. (following the next epansion) That shows that the diversity of planets in this universe defies our imagination. |

I've always wondered how viewing a spec of light through a telescope and observing it size and orbit can tell you that its made of diamonds and not made of regular rocks.

Well...its something to do with analysing different wavelengths. The guy who discovered it was made of diamonds however had a VERY VERY large Monocle! You lose it here, you're in a world of hurt....-á |

Aliens created the planet to mess with us.... they decided one day to make a whole planet out of a diamond. Then any race that came across it would be baffled and amazed. |

They analyze the spectrum of the light and look for dark lines, which then correspond to an element. Diamonds are pure crystallized (compressed) carbon so I'm guessing they figured its made out of diamonds based on the mass of the planet they found, or something like.

You might not have to go so far to find an abundance of diamonds. Apparently, it rains diamonds on some planets in our solar system. http://www.spacedaily.com/news/carbon-99d.html |

That one's the closest but we've found diamond planets before... even a planet that looks like Hoth except the ice is about 5000 degrees "A genius throws a Molotov cocktail and soon realizes that he's going to die choking in a maze of smoke and flame. A hero drinks a Molotov cocktail and soon realizes that if he does a split in midair, he can hit twice as many zombies per kick. Drunk hero wins again, wusses." ~Cracked.com |
