@BigMax Snicker snicker. Lutetium is now named after the Latin name for Paris (Lutetia) but many German chemists up to the 1950s preferred the other result of yet another naming dispute, cassiopeium. Nationalistic rivalry played its part here; the latter name was suggested by an Austrian, the former by a French. A more current dispute concerns its membership in the lanthanides or transition metals; as I’ve said before orbital arguments favour it at the beginning of the 5d orbital while more pedantic ponies follow antiquated conventions by placing its +3 oxidation state amongst the 4f-orbital elements.

I like the choice of Moondancer for this piece, considering how that episode’s background music played out at the very end.

Named for Paris (Lutetia in Latin) where it was discovered by George Urbain in 1907.
 
Out of exceedingly few practical applications, mostly due to sheer cost, it has usage as a petroleum cracking catalyst and for other hydrocarbon reactions. It is also used in the form 117 Lu-DOTA-TATE as a radionuclide in neuroendocrine tumor therapy, which seems to be what Joycall went with. Probably because it’s the easiest to draw. It’s also used in detectors in Positron Emission Tomography, and surprisingly, as a phosphor for LEDs.
