With helium being the 2nd most abundant element, it’s bound to be used in many things. Without helium, things such as steering wheels and the Internet would not be possible. There are so many things in your daily life that requires helium. Although it is very rare, it’s important characteristics lead to people finding more ways to extract it for it’s special needs.

Helium is not reactive, reactive, colorless, and odorless. It has the lowest melting point

Helium has two isotopes (gas and liquid). “It consists almost entirely of He-4 with natural He only containing just over 0.0001% of He-3.”

Even though helium is the "second most abundant element in the universe," it is actually very hard to find. Helium is found in many different parts of the world, but in the USA, it's found a lot in Texas. This natural gas is dug up from the ground. A drill rig is used to let the gas underground rise to the top. It goes through many pipes, getting separated from other gases. It is then put into a container to cool down until it liquifies.

Are we running out of Helium? - Bang Goes The Theory - BBC

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Dallas Campbell investigates why we might be running out of Helium. Dallas travels to Cliffside Gas Field in Amarillo, Texas, to find that this increasingly precious resource is being produced and stored natural in solid rock beneath the ground. Bang Goes The Theory, investigating the science behind the headlines and making sense of the everyday issues that matter to us all.

Helium was discovered by a French astronomer named Pierre Jules César Janssen. He noticed there was a yellow line in the sun's spectrum while he was studying a total solar eclipse in 1868. At first, he thought it was sodium (due to the fact that it was between the D1 and D2 Fraunhofer lines). A couple months later, another scientist named Norman Lockyer noticed the same yellow line and realized it was an unknown element, not sodium. Helium had then got it's name from the Greek word "helios," meaning sun because it was first discovered on the sun. It wasn't discovered on Earth until many years later.
