Livermorium Plaza - LIvermore, CA - Municipal Parks and Plazas on Waymarking.com

"The plaza, located at 116 S. Livermore Ave., pays perpetual tribute to the Lab’s work on element 116, livermorium. It features a park with a five-foot, 18,000-lb. floating granite sphere fountain, representing the nucleus of a Livermorium atom. The seven orbitals are populated with 116 electrons — 20 of those electrons, representing the element calcium, will be illuminated. For Livermorium to be created, calcium atoms are accelerated to one-tenth the speed of light and then directed into a curium target. And for 61 milliseconds, they form one of the rarest elements in the universe." (visit link)
