Yep, you read it right. A planet made out of mostly diamonds. Wait, don't get too excited yet. 55 Cancri e, or "super-earth" is 40 light years away from our planet.
How far is 40 light years? 40 light years is equivalent to 378.4 trillion kilometers. Let's say you're aboard a ship that travels 70 kilometers per second, (that's super fast) it will take you exactly 171,427 Earth-years to get there. So, good luck!
