Today’s something: (*sparkle*) Gold! (*sparkle*) ("Au" on the periodic table)
This element is one of the most popular/well-known metal in the world. It is easy to bend (compared to other metals) but is virtually indestructible. Gold is yellow (if you haven’t noticed). It doesn’t do much in a solid state under standard conditions. Yes, I’m afraid it does not explode or any other awesome stuff like that. :P
There is a facility that takes microscopic pieces of gold and extracts it from dirt. It's a slow process, but it most certainly pays off.
Most of the gold in Earth is believed to be closer to the core, due to its heavy weight. It is guessed that it sank further down when our planet was younger.
Gold was first discovered BEFORE 6000 B.C.E..
