TL;DR Summary

Scientists are studying a white dwarf star, HD 190412 C, that appears to be turning into a "cosmic diamond" as it slowly crystallizes. This particular star offers a unique opportunity to study the cooling process of white dwarves and how long it could take before they crystallize into what could resemble a diamond. The star is around 4.2 billion years old, and scientists predict this process could take a quadrillion years.
