What is the largest constellation in the universe?

The largest diamond discovered by astronomers exists in space.

It is said that this gem has 1 trillion trillion carats to 5 trillion pounds.

Space diamond is almost a huge chunk of amorphous carbon, with a diameter of 4, kilometers. The stone is located 5 light-years away from the earth, in centaurus constellation.

scientists believe that this diamond is the heart of an extinct star, just like the sun that shines on us, and it is named Lucy.

The largest diamond on earth weighs 546 carats and was found in South Africa.

Lucy, also known as BPM, is actually a white dwarf. The white dwarf is the core of a hot star, which is made of most carbon and coated with a thin layer of hydrogen and helium gas.

White dwarfs not only radiate, but also are harmonious and constantly pulsating. By measuring these pulsations, we can study the hidden white dwarf, just as a seismograph measures earthquakes to let geologists study the inner earth. We try to figure out that this white dwarf inside carbon has solidified to form the largest diamond in the galaxy.

astronomers say that our sun will die in 5 billion years and become a white dwarf. After about 2 billion years, it will become a similar diamond and remain in the solar system forever.
