Planets with Diamonds Everywhere, with Iron Rain and Hot Ice – The Search for Alien Planets

by



This is really a fantastic science documentary that explores other “Earth” like or sized worlds, but with very different, and often deadly, environments.

Imagine ice that is hot. Imagine a world where it rains liquid glass, or, if the world is hot enough, liquid aluminum or liquid iron!

Imagine a world tilted on its side so that it’s perpetually sunset and sunrise, and one pole is broiling hot, while the other pole on the same world is near absolute zero because it’s always in the shade.

Imagine a world where water is so condensed that it crushes to a form of ice with a perfect crystal lattice.

That’s what this documentary is all about. Alien Earths provides both CGI and talking heads about worlds that our Earth might have turned out to be, and that actually exist somewhere out there in our own galaxy. And our top astronomers have only scratched the surface of the various kinds of planets that might be nearby in our own galaxy alone.

  2. the only reason Diamonds are considered rare, is cause some famous person, female I think, said that "Diamonds are forever"! In reality, the amount of diamonds pulled from just Russian Mines, equals a few tons a year!

  6. What a time to be alive! Learning about space and knowing what's out there more than we've ever thought to be possible! Thank you for this video! Learning about space and about what could possibly be out there makes me wish that we humans could be immortal so that we can be alive to see it! Or be alive when man starts to populate or colonize sustainable life on distant exoplantes!
