"Various Outer Space Aromas According to Astronauts, from the Smell of Farts to Steak"

Dream - Space is a very vast empty space. When in space, astronauts protect themselves inside the spacecraft and space suits. Because direct exposure would certainly kill them. Therefore, no one has ever smelled the smell of outer space directly. However, after returning from a journey in space, astronauts often smell a unique smell when they take off their helmets.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: "The returning astronauts tell that the universe emits various different smells depending on where humans are. Quoted from Space.com, here are the various smells described by astronauts from various space expeditions over the decades."

Gunpowder

"Astronauts who were part of the Apollo moon landing often commented on smelling a scent similar to gunpowder."

They indeed cannot smell the scent of outer space outside the spacecraft, because of course it is dangerous and can be deadly. The smell will be clearly detected after they return to the airlock and take off their helmets.

"Charred Meat"

Astronauts on the International Space Station not only reported smelling a scent like gunpowder but also burnt meat like steak.

"Metal"

Many astronauts smell the smell of metal and acid. According to scientists, the source of the smell of metal and burnt meat comes from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). These are the same organic molecules found in burned food on Earth and are often found in outer space.

Alcoholic Beverage

Some astronauts smell the scent of alcoholic beverages. This is caused by Sagittarius B2, a large dust cloud in the center of our galaxy, containing a significant amount of alcohol, including vinyl alcohol, methanol, and ethanol.

Rotten Eggs, Urine, and Almonds

A comet that was observed by the European Space Agency's spacecraft Rosetta in 2014, named 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, is known to have a smell of rotten eggs and urine. Scientists detected various molecules in the space rock that emitted this odor, and there were three notable findings. The first one is hydrogen sulfide, a molecule that produces the foul smell in rotten eggs or flatulence.

The second one is ammonia, which reminds us of the smell of urine. The third one is hydrogen cyanide, which, despite being toxic, has a more appealing smell like almonds.

"Fart"

Unexpectedly, Uranus is a planet that smells like someone with a bloated stomach. The fact that Uranus smells like fart was revealed by a study conducted by Oxford University in 2018. The cause of this is that the upper atmosphere of Uranus consists of hydrogen sulfide, the same molecule found in the fart-smelling comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
