Historie
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.

Applications
Helium is used as a protective gas in growing silicon and germanium crystals, in titanium and zirconium production, and in gas chromatography.

Helium at low temperatures is used in cryogenics.

Helium is used for filling balloons and for pressurizing liquid fuel rockets.

Helium is used as a shielding gas in arc welding processes.
Helium is not known to be toxic
