Who discovered helium?

Helium was discovered by the French astronomer Pierre Janssen during a total solar eclipse in Guntur, India, in 1868. The same spectral emission lines were noted by the English astronomer Norman Lockyer, who proposed the name “helium”, after Helios the Sun God of Greek mythology.
