Both Pierre Janssens and Norman Lockyer are credited with discovering helium in 1868. Helium is the second lightest element after hydrogen and the second least reactive element after neon. In fact it wins a lot of second place prizes as helium is also the second most abundant element in the observable universe. Despite helium’s apparent abundance in the universe, on Earth it is relatively rare, being found only in certain natural gas fields around the globe.
