Detailed explanation-1: -The new compound of helium and hydrogen was called helium hydride or helonium (HeH+), the very first molecule (of any sustained abundance) in the universe.

Detailed explanation-2: -We can trace the history of our universe back about 14 billion years, to a fiery period known as the Big Bang. At that time, the universe was extremely hot and dense. In fact, all the matter we observe today - out to the furthest galaxies we can see - was packed into a space smaller than a grapefruit.

Detailed explanation-3: -The first elements - hydrogen and helium - couldn’t form until the universe had cooled enough to allow their nuclei to capture electrons (right), about 380,000 years after the Big Bang.
