歷史
French astronomer Jules Janssen obtained the first evidence of helium during the solar eclipse of 1868.

Norman Lockyer and Edward Frankland suggested the name helium for the new element.

In 1895, Sir William Ramsay discovered helium in the uranium mineral cleveite.

It was independently discovered in cleveite by Per Teodor Cleve and Abraham Langlet.
