Rainbow Brite Anybody?

Okay this is old news, but I just found out today that astronomers found a diamond planet. You got it -- an entire PLANET made of diamond. Read about it on the BBC News site (article is from February 2004, which is why I said the news is old).

A friend of my hubby told me about this while we were all sitting around eating dinner. The first thing I thought of when he said diamond planet was Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer. Yes, I still remember that movie because I own that movie and absolutely love it. Can't say the same for the show that spawned it, but the movie was decent.

It's too bad the scientists named the planet Lucy because I would have totally voted for Spectra. :P

Random news fact of the day.

Carry on.
