https://www.space.com/40374-uranus-clouds-smell-rotten-eggs.html There's a lot of really smelly stuff wafting around Uranus. The clouds in Uranus' upper atmosphere are composed largely of hydrogen sulfide, the molecule that makes rotten eggs so stinky, a new study suggests. "If an unfortunate human were ever to descend through Uranus' clouds, they would be met with very unpleasant and odiferous conditions," study lead author Patrick Irwin, of Oxford University in England, said in a statement. But that wayward pioneer would have bigger problems, he added: "Suffocation and exposure in the negative 200 degrees Celsius [minus 328 degrees Fahrenheit] atmosphere, made of mostly hydrogen, helium, and methane, would take its toll long before the smell."
The planet should opt to change its name to something other than uranus. Bad pr . Just the elementary jokes alone.
The planets are all pretty nervous following what happened to Pluto. So I don't expect Uranus to... make more noise than it already does ... or to... raise a stink over this.
I have to pronounce it urine-us to keep from laughing in class. Middle-schoolers go with the your-anus pronunciation. We're not much different.
If William Herschel could've foreseen all the jokes about the planet he discovered he might've kept the name "George".
Too bad I won't let them, or else they could just probe around my anus and find a gaseous atmosphere.
