The universe is made up of 93.5% of Hydrogen atoms‚ 6.3% of Helium and 0.2% of other elements. By looking at the spectrum of hot stars‚ upper solar atmosphere and solar wind‚ an abundance of Helium is determined. Only from the 1920s there were methods of calculating what elements were present in a gas by just observing its spectrum‚ due to the fact that different elements absorb and emit different wavelengths of light. (2) Gamow thought that nuclear fusions took place in the first minutes after
