Atmospheres of Saturn and Jupiter could make a rain of diamonds

It could also have oceans of diamonds on the surface of Jupiter.

On Saturn and Jupiter, diamonds may fall from the sky and oceans form them. Astrophysical group calculated that the powerful thunderstorms that occur in both planets

At greater depths, scientists believe they can become liquid diamonds could form a stable ocean layer. While the oceans are more likely in Jupiter, Saturn could have large chunks of floating diamonds.

"It seems that the interior of Jupiter is hot enough to reach the region of liquid diamond in the carbon phase diagram, while Saturn's interior includes temperature and pressure regions where coal could exist as solid diamond," explains the researcher Mona Delitsky.

Along the scientist Kevin Baines, also pose it is unlikely that other gas giant planets (like Uranus and Neptune) formed oceans of diamonds, despite previous studies suggesting this possibility. However, may contain solid diamond crystals in the core.

The diamonds - which are a form of carbon created under high pressure - not so rare on planets. Outside our solar system, scientists have found a planet full of this material, while 40 light years from our Earth is one that is one third of diamonds.
cause the formation of carbon particles that fall through the gases. As they fall, are crushed by the enormous pressure of the atmosphere, causing them to become diamonds.

TomTato: Plant that produces tomatoes and potatoes

Crossing two plants to form a single through grafting is not new. The difference is that TomTato perhaps is the first variant generally available on the market. What is TomTato? In essence, a plant capable of producing potatoes (or potatoes, as you prefer) and tomatoes at the same time. TomTato plants can grow directly in pots, and are completely natural.

On more than one occasion I heard that the Potato (ie potatoes), being a single tuber, is easy to grow. However, if we look at the Web how to grow potatoes, you will find dozens of methods and recommendations, therefore, is not as simple as it looks. Still, the British company Thompson & Morgan decided to make the challenge more interesting, combining potatoes and tomatoes in a single plant. The brand name for the plant is TomTato, and what we can tell, is the first of this kind to be marketed to the public, although its distribution is limited to the UK. There is a similar project called Potato Tom in New Zealand but do not ship outside the country.

Makers reveal that each plant is grafted by hand, and no genetic modification class, therefore, the process is completely natural (from a technical standpoint, we can not call it hybrid). In the best case, the performance of a TomTato exceed 500 cherry tomatoes, accompanied by a respectable amount of potatoes. The plant only lasts a season, so that every enthusiast should be replaced once they pick up the potatoes and tomatoes. The price of each TomTato is 18 euros, and you can even use a pot, so you do not need any patch of ground at home. The company describes tomatoes as "sweet, but sour" with about 10.2 degrees Brix, while the popes have broad versatility, and are suitable for them boiled, footprints (mashed), baked or fried.
