Diamond Star
I was surfing the internet, and i found some news on a website:
scientist have found a star that had possibily crystallized into a diamond...
The news was a while ago. Anyway, take a look at this short article.

I have mistaken, apologized, and taken the consequences. My only regret, was for how I was bothered by the unchangable.

Re: Diamond Star
I thought a white dwarf was composed of mainly iron, while a diamond was carbon.

Yes pgrmdave; I was wondering the same thing, sounds a little fantastic to me. If we understand the evolution of stars the carbon would have transmutated long before the white dwarf could have formed. Maybe our information is incorrect about this process?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
