And of course helium was discovered on the sun, which is something that my high school science teacher used to relish telling us in class. You know, those kinds of things where someone loves telling a story so much that they forget that they've told it more than once. This sort of story of the discovery of helium on the sun was one of those for my high school science teacher. And he used to say it with such momentous pause and gravitas waiting for us to react.
How does helium relate to the sun and its discovery?
Assuming that we would have this sort of raucous reaction to the idea that helium could be discovered on the sun as if we could ever actually get close enough to discover anything on the sun. and then he'd be able to smile coyly and explain to the class precisely what he meant. Although that never really happened for him, unfortunately, as we were bored teenagers in a science lesson, and mostly we just remained silent, staring blankly at the front, waiting for the lesson to end. And that is a shame, because that was probably me at that time as well, but in the years after, I have come to grow a deep passion and fascination with not only science, but space. And part of me wishes that I could go back and ask my science teacher more questions about that sort of thing, but...
Well, yes, needless to say, according to my high school science teacher, helium was discovered on the sun, and I actually forget the precise mechanism that was used to do this, but in some way a spectral analyser, some device that was able to analyse the electromagnetic spectrum could pinpoint out helium as an element that was being produced from the sun or should i say within the sun and as an interesting fact as a teenager i suppose it at least piqued my interest very slightly But the implications of that, and I think precisely what he was trying to convey, wasn't really truly understood to me until I was much older.
