Astronomers first discovered such a planet in the 21st century. The first diamond planet to be discovered was located about 17 light-years from Earth and had a diameter of 4,000 kilometers. At its core is an extremely dense crystalline carbon, a diamond, which weighs the equivalent of ten to the thirty-fourth power.

Diamonds have always been a symbol of wealth and are worth a hundred times more because of their rarity, but astronomers have discovered a "diamond planet". Astronomers observed that the pulsar, the star that flashes its light rhythmically, was a huge diamond and deduced that it was a planet made of carbon and oxygen in a crystal state.

Steve Kavaler, a professor at Iowa State University, is leading a 50-member astronomical team studying the star, which he believes is a blue-green diamond planet.

The diamond planet is a white dwarf with a code of BPM37093 that astronomers named "Lucy" based on the Beatles' song "That's Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."

It is made up of the cooled ash of a star slightly larger than the Sun, most stars become white dwarfs when they die, and only very large stars explode to produce supernovae. Despite this, crystalline white dwarfs are still very rare.

Some astronomers have long believed that the unusually high pressures on Uranus and Neptune easily compress carbon atoms into diamonds.

Although high pressure is an important factor in the formation of diamonds, there is another important factor that is lacking on both planets...... Carbon.

Calculations show that Uranus and Neptune have only one to two percent carbon content, and for a planet to form diamonds, the planet must have more than 15 percent carbon.

Researchers say that the new cosmic treasure hunt could be named a white dwarf...... With more than 50 percent carbon content and intense pressure, the surface of a white dwarf star can be covered with diamonds.

According to reports, this fascinating celestial body ...... The white dwarf star "BPM37093" is located in the Sagittarius constellation 50 light-years from Earth, and this "super giant diamond" in the universe can obviously only sigh with admiration even the bravest treasure hunting fans on Earth.

But according to scientists, the BPM37093 is not really a diamond, and Don Wengate, an astronomer at the University of Texas, said: "In fact, its internal structure is not exactly the same as that of a diamond, but it is very close." ”

The object is located in the constellation Centauri and is a white dwarf. The discovery confirms astronomers' previous theory that white dwarfs crystallize at their cores as their temperatures decrease.

Franks Pinault, a 53-year-old man from Peoria, Illinois, submitted a formal legal declaration to the United Nations last year, declaring that he would own the "largest diamond" known in the universe...... The ownership of the White Dwarf BPM37093, and if Frank really becomes the owner of this "diamond planet", then he will also theoretically become the richest man on Earth.

In July 2008, Frank Pino, a 50-year-old man from Peoria, Illinois, USA, a painter and photographer, submitted an official legal declaration to the United Nations declaring that he would become the "largest diamond" known in the universe...... The first legal owner of the White Dwarf BPM37093.

However, it took Frank almost a year to investigate whether anyone had previously applied for ownership of the universe's "largest diamond", and only recently did he confirm that he was the first person to claim ownership of the universe's known "largest diamond".

It has been learned that Frank claimed ownership of the white dwarf BPM37093 in accordance with the "Outer Space Treaty" formulated by the United Nations in 1967, when 98 member states of the United Nations signed and agreed that the sovereignty of celestial bodies in outer space was not owned by any one country, but the treaty had a legal loophole, and it did not stipulate that private individuals could not own stars in outer space.

Frank took his claim of owning the "largest diamond" in the universe very seriously, saying: "It's no joke, there's nothing in the Outer Space Treaty that prohibits private ownership of outer space objects, but it's not something people do every day, I just want to be the first to do it." ”

However, Frank is not the first person to claim an outer space star. In 1980, Dennis Hope, a Nevada businessman in the United States, submitted a legal document to the United Nations, the magnesium country, and the former Soviet government, claiming ownership of the moon, and he also founded the "Moon Embassy" to sell lunar land to people "cheaply" at $19.99 per acre.

To date, more than three million people have approached Hope to buy land on the Moon and other planets such as Mars, and they have all received a beautifully printed Moon Real Estate Certificate or Outer Space Star Property Certificate.

Frank said his main reason for claiming the "largest diamond" in the universe was to draw attention to the astonishing discoveries in science, especially astronomy and space exploration.

If Frank really becomes the owner of this "super diamond" in the universe, then theoretically speaking, he will also become the richest person in the universe. "I don't want to do anything with it, but I'm eager to figure out a way to use it to help people," Frank said. A diamond of this size can obviously help a country pay off all its national debt. ”

But regardless of whether Frank is joking or serious, there are still countless people who think he is joking, and even think that his behavior is particularly stupid, but this does not hinder his enthusiasm.

Speaking of the diamond planet, we have to talk about the diamond planet. The Diamond Planet belongs to the Diamond Planet, but the Diamond Planet does not belong to the Diamond Planet, and the Diamond Planet is mostly white dwarfs.

Diamond planets appear to be scattered with diamonds on the surface, but are actually rocky planets. There is no zài water source on the surface of the planet diamond, and the main components are carbon, i.e. graphite and diamonds, iron, silicon carbide and undetermined silicates.

In August 2011, Australian astronomers discovered a diamond planet, and in October 2012, American and French scientists announced the discovery of a diamond-strewn planet in the Cancer constellation.55 Cancrie, the first diamond planet to orbit a sun-like star, was discovered.

The diamond planet was discovered by a team led by astronomer Matthew Barres at Sven University of Science and Technology with an electroscope. The planet revolves around a small pulsar. The temperature above it should be hot, glowing white and looking very beautiful.
