Planet composed primarily of carbon and possibly diamond, located 4,000 light-years away.International team of astronomers discovered it and believe it is a remnant of a once massive star orbiting a pulsar.
The Diamond Planet
Saturn's moon Titan is unique with its dense atmosphere and stable bodies of liquid on the surface.The lakes on Titan contain liquid methane, estimated to hold more than 130 billion tons of natural gas.
Titan's Seas of Natural Gas
Metallic asteroid 3554 Amun potentially holds $20 trillion in gold beneath its surface.Estimates also suggest significant reserves of iron, nickel, cobalt, and platinum on the asteroid.
$20 Trillion Gold Asteroid
Astronomers discovered a massive cloud of methyl alcohol in the W3(OH) region of the galaxy.The gas cloud rotates around a central star and helps scientists study star formation.
Interstellar Alcohol Cloud
Possibility of vast extraterrestrial water reserves on Jupiter's moon Europa and dwarf planet Ceres.Europa likely has an extensive liquid ocean under its icy surface, while Ceres may contain more frozen water than all the fresh water on Earth.
Water in Space
VY Canis Majoris, the largest known star, has a radius estimated to reach the orbit of Saturn.R136a1 is the most luminous and massive star, with energy production far exceeding that of the Sun.
Super Massive Stars
M-type asteroids in the asteroid belt hold high concentrations of metals like iron and nickel.16 Psyche, the largest known object in the asteroid belt, could sustain global iron demand indefinitely if only a fraction of its mass is iron ore.
