Earth-sized diamond found in space!


A team of astronomers may have identified the cold and dim white dwarf stars. The ancient stellar remnants are extremely cools the carbon so dense that it resembles a diamond shape of the earth in space can be seen. Its age is probably the same as the Galaxy, ie about 11 billion years. American University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Kapln professor David said, 'Surely it is singular. Since these are extremely low, therefore it is very difficult to recognize. " Kapln and his co-stars identified by the National Radio Astronomical Observatory (Anarao), Green Bank telescope (Jibiti) and the Very Long Baseline Array through observatories like. White dwarf stars are extremely dense and finally, finally ends. Mostly composed of carbon and oxygen white dwarf star slowly cools and endlessly wanders in space. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill graduate student and member of the research team, said Bart Dunlap, "the final image, another white dwarf stars, neutron stars orbiting a thousand times dimmer than a 10 known white dwarf stars times be blurry, but I can not see it. " They say, 'If there is a white dwarf and, of course, it must be extremely cold. " The researchers calculated that the white dwarf has reported 3,000 degrees Kelvin (2,700 degrees Celsius) would not be much colder. Astronomers believe that unlike diamonds, this kind of cold and dead star will be largely composed of crystallized carbon. This conclusion 'astrophysical' is published in the journal. http://media2.intoday.in/aajtak/images/stories/062014/earth_650_062514111622.jpg
