In the year 1999, it was hypothesized that diamonds were deposited on the surface of Neptune and Uranus. Now however, a new set of reports have materialized hinting that Saturn and Jupiter can coalesce with the aforementioned jewel too.<\/p>\n
New research indicate that while solid diamond particles maybe scattered on the surface of these planets, it would adopt a more liquid form closer to the core.\u00a0This could thus result in small pools of molten diamonds.<\/p>\n
Neptune and Uranus have been theorized to be receiving continual diamond rainfall for a long time now. However, now with new studies indicating the same on Saturn and Jupiter, diamonds are all over the place. Weather phenomenon on these planets turns methane into soot, which hardens as it falls down on the planets’ surface – ended us as diamond.<\/p>\n
However, before you get too excited, this is what Mona Delitsky, planetary scientist of California Specialty Engineering, has to say –<\/p>\n
“We don’t want to give people the impression that we have a Titanic-sized diamondberg floating around. We’re thinking they’re more like something you can hold in your hand.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Maybe you really should get excited.<\/p>\n \u201cWe know that inside the clouds on Saturn is pure carbon,\u201d Baines, a scientist at University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told Weather.com. \u201cThere\u2019s gravity there so obviously those solid carbon particles have to rain down. So when they get down deep enough they should turn into diamonds. It all kind of just fell naturally from thunderstorms on Saturn.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nSo how exactly are these diamonds formed?<\/h2>\n
