Good news. This new element is named after the astronomer Copernicus. As such, element number 112 will be named Copernicum, with the element symbol of Cp.

Darn. Yet another element to learn!

Will element Number 113 (a prime number, incidentially) therefore now be named Galileoium, followed by Tychonium, Keplerium and Newtonium?
