A confluence of circumstances led to astronomers proposing three new elements in the 1860s (nebulium 1864, helium 1868, and coronium 1869) though the names came a bit later. Two of these proved to be familiar elements under unfamiliar conditions. Despite this rather unpromising start, astronomical observations were in due course required and accepted to quantify the amounts of the elements in the universe and both observations and calculations to sort out where it had all come from. These latter endeavors are still in progress today.
