  Helium - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Helium gas is used to fill the space between lenses in some telescopes because its extremely low index of refraction reduces the distorting effect of temperature variations in the gas filling the telescope (some telescopes use vacuum in the telescope instead).
Helium was first detected on August 18, 1868 as a bright yellow line with a wavelength of 587.49 nm in the spectrum of the chromosphere of the Sun, by French astronomer Pierre Janssen during a total solar eclipse in Guntur City (India).
Helium is the second most abundant element in the known Universe after hydrogen and constitutes 23% of all elemental matter measured by mass ('elemental matter' does not include dark matter or dark energy, which together may account for 96% of the Universe).

Helium is used in cryogenics, in deep-sea breathing systems, to cool superconducting magnets, in helium dating, for inflating balloons, for providing lift in airships and as a protective gas for many industrial uses (such as arc welding and growing silicon wafers).

Helium is the second most abundant element in the known Universe after hydrogen and constitutes 23% of all elemental matter measured by mass even though there are 8 times as many hydrogen atoms as helium ('elemental matter' does not include dark matter or dark energy, which together may account for 96% of the Universe).

Helium (IPA: /ˈhiːliəm/) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless chemical element, one of the nearly inert noble gases of the periodic table.
Helium is used in cryogenics, as a deep-sea breathing gas, for inflating balloons and airships, and as a protective gas for many industrial purposes, such as arc welding.
The shortest-lived isotope is helium-5 with a half-life of 7.6×10

Because of its low density, Helium is the gas of choice to fill [[airships such as the USGS blimp.]] Pressurized Helium is commercially available and is extracted from natural gas.
Helium in the crust is produced by the radioactive decay of uranium and thorium which are present in varying concentrations throughout the crust
