Janssen's paper: pp. 838-839. A few minor brownspots. First apperance of of the paper in which Janssen announced the first observations of a Solar Prominence without Eclipse. "Janssen and Sir Norman Lockyer independently and about the same time discovered the method of observing solar prominences and the limb of the sun through using a high dispersion spectroscope in order to project the bright hydrogen lines of the prominence spectrum on the much attenuated background of the solar spectrum." (Shapley & Howarth "A Source Book in Astronomy", where this paper is translated on pp. 308-310)."This (the spectra of helium in the sun) was announced on the same day by the French astronomer Janssen, who was in India observing a total eclipse. As a result, the French government some ten years later struck a medallion showing the heads of both scientists.By that time, the two men had made a much more dramatic discovery at the same time, this time in cooperation. Janssen, studying the spectrum ofthe sun during the eclipse, had noted a fine line he did not recognize. he send a report on this to Lockyer, an acknowledges expert on solar spectra. Lockyer compared the reported position of the line with lines of known elements, concluding that it must belong to a yeat unknown element, possibly not even existing on the earth. He named the element, from the Greek word for the sun."(Asimov).Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1868 A.
