Uranus is filled with diamonds

Yup, before we go any further, let's all say the title 5 times in quick succesion. Ok, cheap thrill's over.

io9 reports that there could very well be a sea full of diamonds on Neptune and Uranus. Scientists have been studying their strange magnetic fields and high carbon makeup, and came to a hypothesis of diamond seas.

Not only are there seas of diamonds, as the atmospheric mix stabilises, chunks of solid diamond appeared on the surface, akin to floating sheets of ice. Imagine an iceberg of diamond!

Before you ladies go booking shuttle flights to these 2 exotic locales, I should warn you that the pressure (i assume affects gravity) at Neptune is about 11 million times that of Earth, not to mention slightly warm temperatures of up to 50,000 degrees.

But there's nothing against hoping the Uranians won't send cooled diamonds hurtling our way!

Hi Richard,

Thanks very much for your interesting blog. It's always nice to see how people on the other side of the globe live, how they share the same joys and sorrows, what they do in their free time, etc.

I actually have a question about your blog. Would you mind helping us with a linguistic research project? We're compiling data from various Singaporean weblogs. All it requires is checking a few boxes. If you want to take part and/or have more questions, drop me a note ( hack2301@uni-trier.de RE: Question ) so that I can then send you the 'official' project eMail. We'd really appreciate your help.

Thanks very much in advance!
Best regards,
- Fran

PS: Now you destroyed all my hopes to bath in a sea of diamonds ;-)
