Helium was discovered in 1868 as a new spectral line in light from the sun by French astronomer Jules Janssen during a total solar eclipse in Guntur, India. In the same year, Norman Lockyer, an English Astronomer concluded that the new spectral line was caused by an element in the Sun unknown on Earth and named it Helium.
In 1882, Italian physicist Luigi Palmieri detected helium on Earth for the first time.
March 26, 1895 Sir William Ramsay, a Scottish chemist, isolated helium on Earth.
