Heh.  Just saw this on the TeeVee this past week:


Mauna Kea, Hawaii
(Tallest from "floor" to peak, you see....)

I was under the impression it was Mauna Loa, but it's one or the other, close enough regardless.

FYI: I always use the "Loa" in "Mauna Kea/Loa" to remind me that it's the "lower" one of the two. (Despite the fact that it means "Long" in Hawiian....  ::) )

Also interestingly: Mauna Loa is larger in volume than Mauna Kea....   :-\


KK, next one up is:

What's another name for "Heavy Water?"

Extra credit: What's it's chemical formula/symbol?



*edit* Corrected typo....  ::)

It's just there to specify the "Nucleon number" - so it's counting total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Deuterium has one proton and one neutron, so it has 2 nucleons. My guess is that the first 2 isn't needed since by definition Deuterium has 2 nucleons and only 2. But never mind.

What is the highest mountain in the Solar System?
