Has hundreds of successful alien planets confirmed by astronomers. Surprisingly, studies show that many of the planet is rich in so-called diamond diamond planet.

Could diamonds were revealed? Maybe when the technology to get to the planet and supporting the diamond mines. But clearly, the planet is not habitable.

Why? “We believe that the planet must have a diamond is a very cold and dark,” said Wendy Panero, earth experts from Ohio State University, as quoted by Space, Tuesday (06/12/2011).

Diamonds have a high ability to dissipate heat. For a planet, this is detrimental because a lot of heat energy on the planet was quickly gone. The interior of the diamond must be very cold planet.

The consequence then is the diamond planet has no geothermal energy. As a result, the planet could also have no tectonic activity, magnetic field and atmosphere.

Planet diamonds have a variety of sizes. The composition of this planet could consist of 50 percent more diamonds. Therefore, in astronomical terms, this planet is called carbon super earth.

Earth also contain diamonds. Panero and colleagues studied the Earth’s mantle layer to see how diamonds are formed there. They then create a simulation of the formation of diamond on a foreign planet.

Cayman Unterborn, also from Ohio State University, said, “It is possible for planets with a size equal to 15 times the Earth is composed of diamonds half.”

Geologists have been told that the Earth’s mantle is rich in diamonds. However, based on simulation, the wealth in the earth was nothing on the planet with an alien. Number of diamonds there is much greater.

Results of research on the diamond planet was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting held in San Francisco, Tuesday.
