In my defense I'm waiting for the coffee to kick in... But I thought the image belonged to this post and I had a giggle.

Officially named PSR J2322-2650b, this object has an exotic helium-and-carbon-dominated atmosphere unlike any ever seen before. It has a mass about the same as Jupiter, but soot clouds float through the air—and deep within the planet, these carbon clouds can condense and form diamonds. It orbits a rapidly spinning neutron star.

Real story would be if the planet was Onion shape and athmosphere was Not The Onion.

Lemon-shaped? I wasn’t aware that was an option.

So, did the star blow off a layer of carbon on a previous do-over?
