Another planet, 55 Cancri e, has been called a “super-Earth” because, like Earth, it is a rocky planet orbiting a sun-like star, but it has twice the radius and eight times the mass. The researchers who discovered it in 2012 concluded that it was carbon-rich, making an abundance of diamond likely.

How big are the wings on a Diamond DA40?
Rediscovering The Diamond DA40. The long, 39-foot wings provide a glide ratio slightly better than that of most other general aviation singles, and a typical 65-knot approach speed will still preserve plenty of flare at the bottom. In fact, a little too much pressure too early will result in a memorable balloon.
