Moscovium Tapestries

Science geek on with a Moscovium Element 115 design

The name for newly discovered element 115 is moscovium, which has element symbol Mc.

The orbitals are swirling in Storistir to make holiday ornaments! Moscovium, Element 115, is in the Pnictogen (Nitrogen) family, Group 15 of the Periodic Table. Moscovium is a radioactive, short-lived, man created element with no known uses.

Element 115 is an enigma of sorts. It was only added to the periodic table in 2016, yet for decades it has attracted extra attention because of a supposed connection to extraterrestrial technology and alien lifeforms.

There are 15 transactinides currently, which are all man-made, short-lived and difficult to create. Can you name all 15?

Stars like our sun make many elements, although not every known element has been detected in stars. All 118 elements including the man-made ones are listed in this design (in no particular order). Can you find your favorite element?
