    That planet would look beautiful mounted on Saturn's rings.

    With a bit of work it would make a kickass buckle for the asteriod belt.

    I can only imagine how that diamond planet will act as prism of that neutron star.Quite the light show i assume.

    I would hate crash landing into the diamond planet.

    It's a nice pun, but the planet/dwarf is about the same weight as Jupiter apparently so... getting that piece of bling would “kill” Saturn.

    @Kagemusha: but isn't this a Pulsar, i.e. neutrino star, so no visible light but only Gamma & X rays ?

    You are absolutely right with a second thought. I was so fascinated about the idea of giant prism orbiting a sun that i forgot pulsar doesnt give out light in normal sense.Thanks for correcting me.

    Beauty transcends science.

    FYI, my uni degree is in astronomy.

    You signed up because you thought it was the study of heavenly bodies, you didn't expect Uranus.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
