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

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

"The astronauts returning to Earth reported that the universe emits various different smells depending on the angle from which a person is situated. Quoted from Space.com, here are the various smells described by astronauts from different space expeditions over the decades."

The translation of "Bubuk Mesiu" to English is "Gunpowder."

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

"They indeed cannot smell the scent of outer space outside the spacecraft, because of course, that would be dangerous and potentially lethal. The smell would be clearly noticeable once they return to the airlock and remove their helmets."

The translation of "Daging Terbakar" to English is "Grilled Meat".

"Astronauts at the International Space Station not only report smelling something like gunpowder, but also burnt meat like steak."

The translation of "Logam" to English is "Metal".

Many astronauts have reported smelling metal and acid. According to scientists, the source of the metallic and burnt flesh odors comes from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These are the same organic molecules found in charred food on Earth and are often present in outer space.

The translation of "Minuman Keras" to English is "Alcoholic Beverages".

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

Rotten Eggs, Urine, and Almond.

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

"The second is ammonia, which reminds us of the smell of urine. The third is hydrogen cyanide which, although toxic, has a more appealing almond-like scent."

The translation of "Kentut" to English is "fart."

"Unexpectedly, Uranus is a planet that smells like a person suffering from flatulence. The fact that Uranus smells like farts was revealed by a study from Oxford University in 2018. The cause is that the upper atmosphere of Uranus consists of hydrogen sulfide, the same molecule found in comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko that has a fart-like smell."
