Astronomers Make A Discovery A Diamond Planet




A few weeks ago NASA's kepler spacecraft revealed a dark alien planet. They have been researching this planet, and quite a few scientists from all over the world have announced something even more exciting, a diamond planet!!! This planet is 4,000 light year away or about an eighth of the way toward the center of the Milky way from earth. The only reason the astronomers where able to spot it, was because of the pulsar star it rotates around. Pulsars are small spinning stars that measure about 20 km in a diameter. The astronomers believe that the "diamond" planet was once a massive star.
