Chemical element of metals. Cu comes from Cuprum, Fe comes from Ferrum, Ag from Argentum. The symbols were not followed by a period (full stop) as with abbreviations. Later chemical elements were also assigned unique chemical symbols, based on the name of the element, but not necessarily in English. For example, sodium has the chemical symbol 'Na' after the Latin "natrium". The same applies to "W" (wolfram) for tungsten, "Fe" (ferrum) for iron, "Hg" (hydrargyrum) for mercury, "Sn" (stannum) for tin, "K" (kalium) for potassium, "Au" (aurum) for gold, "Ag" (argentum) for silver, "Pb" (plumbum) for lead, "Cu" (cuprum) for copper, and
SN 2002cx similar to other type Ia supernovae before 5 days after max, although it is somewhat redder. After 5 days after max SN 2002cx gets progressively redder, although still slightly bluer than SN 1991bg. At 25 days after max SN 2002cx continues to redden, while SN 1991bg starts to get bluer. SN 2002cx's V – I color is red for all times, only slightly bluer than SN 1991bg before 25 days after max, and redder after 25 days after max. SN 2002cx SN 2002cx is a peculiar type Ia supernova. It was discovered in May 2002 by a team of researchers
