Diamond Planet at Your Door Steps.

Diamond Planet at Your Door Steps.

Orbiting a star that is visible to the naked eye, astronomers have discovered a planet twice the size of our own made largely out of diamond. which orbits a sun-like star in the constellation of Cancer and is moving so fast that, a year there, lasts a mere 18 hours. It is also incredibly hot, with temperatures on its surface reaching 3,900 degrees Fahrenheit (1,648 Celsius). Diamond planets have been spotted before but this is the first time one has been seen orbiting a sun-like star and studied in such detail.

The surface of this planet is covered in graphite and diamond rather than water and granite. The most significant estimates about this planet is that at least a third of the planet's mass, which is  equivalent of about three Earth masses, could be diamond

Discovered by a U.S.-Franco research team, its radius is twice that of Earth's with a mass eight times greater. That would give it the same density as Earth, although previously observed diamond planets are reckoned to be a lot denser.

This 'diamond-rich super-Earth' Cancri e is about 40 light years, or 230 trillion miles, from Park Avenue. It is just at your door steps. It cannot be any more nearer. Go, get it.

Question;-  The fortune hunters of humanity must be getting evolved somewhere in the spaces womb of future by using yet to be perfected quantum theories to be there and yet to be here concept. Or is there someone who is already perfecting the art to reach there overpowering the daunting environmental hurdles. May be or may not be. Can someone postulate as how to get to diamond planet squeezing 40 light years to look like just 4 days or 4hours simultaneously compacting trillion miles to trillion meters. It may be realm of possibility provided we learn to trans shift ourselves to a world of astronomical standards in our daily use.
