Such a naming is absolutely stupid idea IMO. All you need as a passenger is a city name only.

Reply to Under what circumstances does radiation cause things (the air, people, plants, etc.) to glow? by ForsakenWedding8062
Radiation doesn't glow itself, that's a popular stereotype. It can activate some luminophores. Usually, such luminophores contain metal salts and it is easy to introduce them into glass. For example, you can imagine that due to bad ecology living species are intoxicated by some metal (Barium or Zinc), and this is a luminophore.

But they do. Respectively, 118 and 120 mol H per L.

So, BeH2 and liquid NH3 will be slightly better. Of course, applying water is much easier.
