Lol, you guys are talking about harvesting it... The sun is 8 light minutes away from Earth. This planet is 1200 light YEARS.

Arn't you guys forgetting.... Its on another fricking planet. We aren't getting access to them anytime soon.

No.

At the moment, it's like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Okay, we know it's there. But how do we get it (cheaply)......

 

[sqrage]

It's not about soon or cheaply. It's more like never.

When we're talking about entire planets of stuff, there are things much more important than diamonds. Interesting idea to have a 'diamond studded planet', though the title is misleading: it's all gas!

The atmosphere is probably gas, the crust is probably graphite, the mantle is coal, and the core is probably one big huge diamond.

@Lambda,
Nono, its gas

“Although WASP-12b is a hot, Jupiter-sized ‘gas giant’ planet that would not have a surface, smaller rock planets could also form in such planetary systems”
