Uses

Praseodymium(III) oxide can be used as a dielectric in combination with silicon.[2] Praseodymium-doped glass, called didymium glass, turns yellow and is used in welding goggles because it blocks infrared radiation. Praseodymium(III) oxide is also used to color glass and ceramics yellow.[3] For coloring ceramics, also the very dark brown mixed-valence compound praseodymium(III,IV) oxide, Pr6O11, is used.

gollark: Hmm, I feel stupider now.

gollark: There's a function to "blit" images onto canvases (canves?) which can also upscale them a bit, but there doesn't *seem* to be a way to make it uses pixelated upscaling instead of some weird antialiasing algorithm.
gollark: ⭐ The image manipulation functions are mildly irritating ⭐
