Helium was discovered on the sun long before it was on earth. Pierre-Jules-Cesar Janssen, a French astronomer had seen a yellow line around the sun’s spectrum. Another astronomer Sir Norman Lockyer, being English knew that the yellow line could not be made by any element known to man at that time. (Late eighteen hundreds) Mr. Lockyer named it helium because it comes from the Greek God of the Sun, Helios.
