James Webb Finds 'Lemon-Shaped' Planet with Diamond Rain, Challenges Science

  • NASA's James Webb Space Telescope discovered PSR J2322-2650b, a lemon-shaped exoplanet.
  • Its unique shape is due to extreme tidal forces from its 'Black Widow Pulsar' star.
  • The planet's atmosphere is rich in carbon and helium, potentially leading to diamond rain.
  • Extreme temperatures (up to 2040°C) make life impossible; it's tidally locked.
  • The discovery challenges existing planet formation theories and shows the pulsar is consuming the planet.

Why It Matters: James Webb reveals a bizarre, lemon-shaped carbon planet with diamond rain, defying scientific norms.
