Icy Planets’ Diamond Rain Created in Laser Laboratory

For the first time, the kind of diamond rain that scientists think falls within the icy giant planets of the solar system has been generated in the lab, a new study finds.

What would happen to Carbon dioxide Gas at temperatures of about 8,540 degrees Fahrenheit (4,725 degrees Celsius) and pressures about 1.48 million times greater than Earth’s atmospheric pressure at sea level?

Solid.

It’d probably be quite warm as well.

How long would the diamonds stay long?

I guess that depends on how they are being kept warm…

I ought to be able to comment on this. I know a bit about conditions in the inner parts of Jupiter and Saturn (even to the point of correcting a graph in a textbook).

I’ve never believed in diamond rain in Jupiter and Saturn but with this new evidence?

Mustn’t rain very often if it has to go to the trouble of creating diamonds.
