 Today's episode of "Discover Daily" looks at recent observations from the James Webb Space Telescope that have revealed intriguing details about Uranus's moons, particularly Ariel. The presence of carbon dioxide ice and carbon monoxide on Ariel's surface suggests the possibility of a subsurface ocean, potentially expanding our understanding of habitable worlds beyond Earth.We then shift gears to the discovery of the world's second largest diamond, and the biggest found in over a century: Unearthed at the Karowe Mine in Botswana by Lucara Diamond Corp, this colossal 2,492-carat gem surpasses previous record-breaking finds from the same mine. We explore the advanced X-ray technology that made this discovery possible and discuss the implications for Botswana's economy and the global diamond industry.From Perplexity's Discovery Feed):https://www.perplexity.ai/page/uranuss-moons-may-harbor-ocean-GeGgrgMNQkCEYT8O0oXvvA)https://www.perplexity.ai/page/second-largest-diamond-found-SHGWMBumSfuSLSb5iYyrXA)
