The thick, mineral-rich layers of clay found on Mars suggest that the Red Planet harbored potentially life-hosting environments for long stretches in the ancient past, a new study suggests.

Science Space mercury diamond Mercury has an 11-mile thick diamond layer between its core and mantle Similar diamond layers could exist in other terrestrial planets By Skye Jacobs July 21, 2024 at ...

A recent study suggests Mercury may have a 10-mile-thick layer of diamond deep in its interior. We have MESSENGER to thank for the finding.

New simulations suggest that a 9-mile-thick layer of solid diamonds may lurk deep below the surface of Mercury. The gems almost certainly can't be mined for bling — but they may help solve some ...

The team's models indicate that the diamond layer would've grown over time. Today, if the study's calculations are correct, Mercury's mantle has a layer of diamond at least 16 km thick.
