- I remember this was a big tree when I was an elementary student at Weaver in the early 1980s. If anything, I remember it was bigger. The tree still exists as of 2025 and is quite gnarly.
- Selenium (Wikipedia)
Selenium is a chemical element; it has the symbol Se and atomic number 34. It has various physical appearances, including a brick-red powder, a vitreous black solid, and a grey metallic-looking form. It seldom occurs in this elemental state or as pure ore compounds in Earth’s crust. Selenium (from Ancient Greek σελήνη (selḗnē) ‘moon’) was discovered in 1817 by Jöns Jacob Berzelius, who noted the similarity of the new element to the previously discovered tellurium (named for the Earth).
