Re: Moon sized diamond.

A solar mass object in our solar system not yet detected? Unlikely. Especially one with a carbon core. Out of curiosity does Jupiter have a core? What is it mad of? What would be the pressure at Jupiter’s core? I bet the core of Jupiter is to hot for anything to crystalize.

Re: Moon sized diamond.

Perhaps, a small one is out there a few miles across?

Re: Moon sized diamond.

How about in the center of sedna? Isn't that a large ice planet the the aort clowd. It might be to cold their for the diamond to form even if sedna had a carbon core and enough gravity to compress it.

It would certainly throw out all our calculations on planetary orbits if there was one.

Out of curiosity does Jupiter have a core? What is it mad of? What would be the pressure at Jupiter’s core? I bet the core of Jupiter is to hot for anything to crystalize.

There are plenty of theories about the core of Jupiter - and if it has one or not, but I don't think they are too close to finding out the thruth yet.

in a relative way
And returned on the previous night.
