Proposal Discussion Astronomers discover Earth Sized Diamond

http://www.engadget.com/2014/06/26/earth-sized-diamond/

PSR J2222-0137, a pulsating companion to a white dwarf star located near the constellation Aquarius, has an incredibly low temperature of about 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit. It's the coldest such object that astronomers have ever detected -- so cool, in fact, that it's likely composed of crystallized carbon, much like the diamonds we treasure so greatly. Ultimately, while an exciting development, it would take 10 lifetimes traveling at the speed of light to reach this interstellar discovery, so don't expect an influx of those coveted clear jewels anytime soon.

Please tell me that things like this are going to be in Elite Dangerous? Please? This sounds so awesome - even if we can't go in and mine it, just to have it there to visit would be fantastic.
