Helium is the second element on the [[Periodic Table|periodic table of elements]]. It is also the second most abundant element in the universe, after [[hydrogen]]. Helium is thought by some to have been created initially in [[The Big Bang]] creation event<ref> For a detailed account of this see:  http://www.lbl.gov/abc/wallchart/chapters/10/0.html</ref>; however this is disputed <ref>see http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/ApJ/journal/issues/ApJL/v509n1/985623/985623.web.pdf</ref>, but what seems to be generally agreed is that subsequently helium has been created by by [[nuclear fusion]] in the center of stars <ref>A detailed account of this can be found at http://zebu.uoregon.edu/textbook/energygen.html</ref>.
