How Can a Star Turn into a Diamond?

💡 The Answer

• White dwarf stars have cores of crystallized carbon and oxygen, similar to diamonds.
• As a star like our Sun exhausts its fuel, it becomes a white dwarf over billions of years.
• The immense pressure inside compresses carbon atoms into a lattice structure, forming diamond.
• Earth's diamonds are tiny compared to these cosmic diamonds, which can be thousands of kilometers wide.
