Everyone is a diamond on Uranus!!!

Wait. Are you confused? Read the below explanation.

Uranus, the seventh planet from Sun, is a mysterious weirdo in our solar planet family. While every planet rotates with their axes parallel to the Sun (almost), Uranus is the only planet which rotates on an axis nearly perpendicular to the Sun.

Well, Uranus has a little more interesting secrets to share with!!

As you're all aware of, human body is made up of Carbon (99%). Carbon when exposed to high pressure and temperature (around 4500 ℃), it can turn into a diamond.

The pressure on surface of Uranus is greater than 1000 bars (1000 times the atmospheric pressure). As Uranus doesn't have a solid surface, as you move deeper, this pressure increases incredibly.

If you're about to land on Uranus (you'll die before you land though), the Carbon atoms in your body are subjected to this pressure and as we know, under very high pressures, carbon gets converted to a diamond.

And thus, you become a gigantic diamond!

So, technically, every lifeform is a diamond on Uranus!

Who said you're worthless?  ;)

Note : Uranus is only for greedy, diamond-digger aliens!

Reading VioletEden's 'Cynosure'  brought my astronomy love back.

And Amalia, maybe this is what I meant by scientific art 😂
