diamond of the sky

HI guys would you like to gift a huge diamond? Well you can very well see this largest diamond, i.e, Lucy a white dwarf a remaining corpse of the star BPM 37093, is the 886th variable star in the constellation Centaurus.

   It was discovered in 2004, and nicknamed so after the song Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.

 BEATLES IN WIKIPEDIA 

  It is also called the star as the star of Africa; 

 When compared to the sun with diameter of 1.4 million km, Lucy is  having a diameter of merely 4000  km.

  Earth is around 1/1000 times of the sun, but Lucy is only 2/3 rd of the earth. But still it is the largest pulsating star currently know. 

 We are yet to discover more of nature's wonders, while this is a great discovery it is only a tiny part of nature's wonders. When ever i see or think of the cosmos its language surely makes me feel very very very small.
