FYI:

Forget the UFO sightings. The most amazing object in the sky may be a newly discovered planet made of diamond, according to information made available on August 25, 2011. Imagine a diamond five times the size of Earth. That's what scientists believe they have found in the constellation of Serpens (The Snake), 4,000 light years from our planet.

SPACE.com reports: "Using the giant Parkes Radio Telescope in New South Wales, Australia, astrophysicists have found an incredibly dense planet comprised of crystalized carbon – the stuff of diamonds – in orbit about a pulsar."

The video on the left side of the page explains how this amazing planet was formed and how it was discovered. The footage on the left side of the page was posted by Marcelo Bizzarro de Andrade from Brazil; it is from his MysteryHunter2 YouTube channel. The title of the video is Transformation of a Star into a Planet: The High Time Resolution Universe Survey for Pulsars and Fast Transients Team. It was originally posted on SPACE.com
