This star is the biggest diamond in universe, 4.000 km as the diameter (imagine you have just 1 % of it O_o), also known as BPM 37093.
BPM 37093 is a variable white dwarf star of the DAV, or ZZ Ceti, type, with a hydrogen atmosphere and an unusually high mass of approximately 1.1 times the Sun's. It is about 50 light-years from Earth, in the constellation Centaurus, and vibrates; these pulsations cause its luminosity to vary.Like other white dwarfs, BPM 37093 is thought to be composed primarily of carbon and oxygen, which are created by thermonuclear fusion of helium nuclei in the triple-alpha process.

Two years ago, one day before Valentine Day, scientist from United Stated Micter Kaerf, Monger Marry from Combridge University, England, and scientist from Brazil, Kannan announced that they have founded “BPM 37093”, that time Micter made a joke: “Eventhough we combine the riches of Bill Gates plus Donald Trump, it won't enough to buy it'.

5 billion years later, our sun, will also turn into white dwarf star, then at that day, we will see a giant huge diamond hang on the sky.
