1. 55 Cancri e – Diamond planet
Kicking this list off with a planet that is two times the size of earth. It’s known for possibly being the biggest diamond ever seen by the human eye. The speculated weight of the diamond that might be hidden in this planet could be a whopping 5 000 000 gigaton. If someone managed to bring that amount of diamonds to earth, it would make diamonds as valuable as sand. So why do we think that it contains so many diamonds? 1. The planet consists of carbon which is essential in the diamond-making process. 2. The temperature level is 3900 F ( 2148 celcius ). Both adds up to the perfect condition for diamonds.
2. Kepler-1647B
This planet is fortunate to have TWO suns. Yes that’s right, it’s a phenomenom called binary sunset. If you want to experience two sunsets in one day, you unfortunately have to travel 3700 light-years. The planet is as old as our earth but looks more like jupiter.
3. HAT-P-1B
Almost twice as big as Jupiter, but is not known for it’s size. The planet is covered in gas like no other planets in our solar system. The gasses are trapped in the planet’s athmosphere making the conditions for any living creature unthinkable.
4. KELPER-39B
We just mentioned the planet that was twice as big as jupiter, well guess what.. This planet is 18X – Jupiter.
5. TRES-4B
Discovered in 2006 and was an enormous discovery for NASA. What made this planet so special, was that scientists found this planet to CHANGE IN SIZE. The change is caused by the temperature changes. When the temperature rises, the mass shrinks to about the same size as Jupiter, when temperature drops (to about -200 C ), the mass grows to an amazing 46X jupiter ( over 50 000 volumes of earth ) .
