An exotic form of precipitation called 'diamond rain' — long thought to occur deep within ice giant planets — could be more common than previously thought.
A team of researchers has experimented with material similar to that found within ice giants such as the solar system planets Neptune and Uranus , discovering that the presence of oxygen increases the possibility of diamond formation and that diamonds could form in low temperatures and ...
Diamonds rain from the sky on billions of planets, new research shows
Billions of planets throughout the universe have sparkling diamond 'rain' forming in their atmospheres, researchers have said.
The researchers used plastic to recreate precipitation believed to form deep inside ice giant planets Uranus and Neptune.
But new research shows it's more likely that diamonds will literally 'rain' down inside the ice giants – and such planets are probably the most common form of planet outside the solar system, the researchers say.
The Webb telescope has released its very first exoplanet image – here's what we can learn from it
Jonti Horner does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their academic appointment.
Did you ever want to see an alien world? A planet orbiting a distant star, light years from the Sun? Well, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has just returned its first-ever picture of just that – a planet orbiting a distant star.

NASA launched twin spacecraft from Earth 45 years ago, and both continue traveling farther than any other human-made object in interstellar space after completing the first tour of the solar system.
Astronomers claim '50sextillion' habitable planets exist in the universe like Earth - Daily Star
Boffins estimate there are 50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 other habitable planets like Earth in the universe.
Astronomers at the University of Auckland in New Zealand claim there are around 100billion Earth-like planets which could be inhabited in the Milky Way alone.
You need to see the most elusive planet at opposition in the sky this month
The distant , mysterious ice giant planet Neptune will present its best viewing opportunities for 2022 when the planet comes into opposition on September 16.
Neptune is the farthest known planet in our Solar System, orbiting the Sun at a distance of roughly 30 astronomical units (30 times the distance from the Earth to the Sun), and is not visible to the naked eye.

Star Citizen Needs Tons Of New Missions And Activities, Not Pyro
As the next big thing in Star Citizen, Pyro is supposed to be the next Star System in the game after Stanton, featuring up to five planets with a unique environment that makes it stand out from Stanton.
In development for over 10 years, Star Citizen is still far from close to its final form, but I'm not going to blame the developers for that; what exists in the game in its current state is impressive.
