Helium, Sun Gift and Safer Air Mixture Facts
Scientists traced helium in the sun using a spectroscope before Earthly discovery. The gas, named for Helios, appears in tiny air amounts but up to one percent in natural gas from Texas Kansas and Alberta. Helium is lighter than air and nonflammable, used to inflate balloons and dirigibles, obtained by liquefying natural gas. Calgary plants liquefy sixty thousand cubic feet per hour. Helium replaces nitrogen in breathing mixtures to reduce deep diving risks and protect the nervous system, brain, and lungs from nitrogen narcosis.
