They should name it ‘Liz’.
Uh oh... Michele Obama just ordered it and put it on the national credit card
Planet De Beers.
We’ll never again have a shortage of phonograph needles!
On this planet, wedding rings feature stones made of coal...
Evidently, its inhabitants are all female.
We should drag it home and shoot off a ball of garbage to take its place in orbit.
Fortress of Solitude
get the tractor beam ready..
I had a story idea with a planet made of gold, it’d have almost normal gravity at half the size because of the density.
I’m calling dibs!
hmmm, sounds like a nice place, I wonder if they have an RV park?
Did they know something we didn't?
I won’t tell my wife cuz she’ll want it.
Diamond ping
Picture of January Jones as Emma Frost in diamond form coming in 1 . . . 2 . . . 3 . . .
No one seems to find it odd that astronomers claim to ‘know’ that some planet billions of miles away is made of, yet....
The aren’t sure what the core of the Earth is made of, nor even what is below the crust, and why it behaves as it does.
They don’t know what creatures exist at the bottom of the world’s oceans, and have kept discovering new creatures in environments they SAID were totally UNINHABITABLE by any life form.
They can’t predict the weather for more than a few days, nor can they predict earthquakes or volcanoes.
They keep revising their estimate of the MARCELLUS SHALE contents wildly UP and DOWN.
These scientists have absolutely NO EVIDENCE that any of the ‘carbon’ is in the form of diamond crystals. It is something they ‘conjectured’ and that was picked up by the media as a way to spark interest in the subject.
Remember, last week, IIRC, we had discovered the DARKEST PLANET in the Universe. (Which is a wild claim considering the fact that based on current theory of the formation of the Universe, there is a large portion of the Universe which is, and will FOREVER be, beyond our perception, due to the speed of light).
NOW, this does not mean that there is NOT a planet made mostly or even entirely of diamonds. But for scientists to claim they have found one, is seemingly status quo lately for scientists who find that wild speculation is what sells ‘print’.
