A planet
that is about twice the size of Earth has been found orbiting a nearby star in
the constellation Cancer. This planet is much too hot for humans to ever live
on. But the heat is very good for something else–creating diamonds! The planet
is very rich in carbon, which is what diamonds are made of. The illustration
above shows the planet with a layer of diamonds under its graphite surface.
Before
they can fly in space, astronauts have to undergo hundreds of hours of
training. This is split into three main sections
First,
newcomers who want to qualify as astronauts have to pass a one-year course of
basic training. The candidates learn about space technology and science, basic
medical skills, and how the International Space Station (international space
station) works. They also become familiar with scuba diving.
