1898 - Pierre and Marie Curie announced the existence of a new element, later to be named radium. Radium (Latin radius, ray) was discovered by Marie Curie and her husband Pierre in 1898 in pitchblende/uraninite from North Bohemia. While studying pitchblende the Curies removed uranium from it and found that the remaining material was still radioactive. They then separated out a radioactive mixture mostly consisting of barium which gave a brilliant red flame color and spectral lines which had never been documented before. In 1902 radium was isolated into its pure metal by Curie and Andre Debierne through the electrolysis of a pure radium chloride solution by using a mercury cathode and distilling in an atmosphere of hydrogen gas.Dec 26 2004 14:48 GMT

Happy 75th Elvis!
I just know I'd love to see some aging software so we would know what Elvis would look like if he was alive today. But then on the other hand, perhaps we don't need to have that vision and instead just remember him as he was at the height of his success.
Are you an Elvis fan? Take the trivia quiz, then come back here and let us know how you did.
