The discovery of heliumHelium was discovered by the French astronomer Pierre Jules Cesar Janssen during a total solar eclipse in Guntur, India, in 1868. The same spectral emission lines were noted by the English astronomer Norman Lockyer, also in 1868, who proposed the name "helium," after Helios, the Sun God of Greek mythology.

In 1895 Sir William Ramsay separated for the first time helium from air in laboratory; the same year this experiment was repeated independently by Per Theodor Cleve and Nils Langlet in Sweden.

Historical discovery

Discovered: Pierre Janssen first obtained evidence of the existence of helium during the solar eclipse of 1868 when he detected an unknown yellow line in the solar spectrum signature. Norman Lockyer and Edward Frankland later confirmed his observations and named the new element helium from the Greek word 'helios', meaning the sun. William Ramsay was first to isolate helium on Earth in 1895 by treating the uranium mineral cleveite with mineral acids.
