Answer:

Quoting shrik

1. Pierre Janssen
2. The clear yellow line is at 587.49nm in the spectrum
3. Guntur :p

Janssen noticed this wavelength while watching a total solar ecipse in Guntur, which led him to discover Helium.

    Pierre Jansen discovered Helium using spectroscopic techniques, during the great solar eclipse of 1868 – he did this at the Andhra town of Guntur, munching on red chillies.

    Lockyer did similar stuff later in the year, but not in Guntur :)

    Guntur is situated at a crucial longitude for synoptic coverage of solar phenomena. It was on August 18, 1868 in the tobacco fields of Guntur that the French astronomer, Pierre-Jules-Cisar Janssen (1824-1907), stumbled upon a yellow line in the solar spectrum while observing a solar eclipse. He christened it `Heliose’, from the Greek word helios, which means sun.

    Helium

    Pierre Janssen
    Helium – Helium was first detected in the Sun due to its characteristic spectral lines
    Pierre Janssen first discovered helium while observing a solar eclipse while at Guntur

    Pierre Jules César Janssen (1) discovered the existence of Helium (2) while watching a complete solar eclipse in Guntur (3) in 1868.

    Pierre Jules César Janssen, a french astronomer, who discovered Helium in Guntur during the Great Indian Eclipse.
    Helium Spectral line.
    Connect is helium.
