What does space smell like?

Space.

The final frontier.

Apparently smells like gunpowder, burnt meat, and alcohol.

That's according to astronauts interviewed on space.com, science.org.au, and oh so many other places.

Some say space smells like walnuts and brick pads, gunpowder, or even burnt almond cookies.

Well, technically you can't smell anything while you're in space.

If you try, you're dead.

But you can smell your uniform after you go back inside a spaceship.

But if you could smell space, scientists say it would be pretty pungent.

Or at least a lot of the stuff out there is.

For instance, a comet that hit a European space station in 2014 smelled like rotten eggs.

There's also a cloud of gas and dust called Sagittarius B2 that contains a mix of ethanol, methanol, and vinyl alcohol.

And we're pretty sure that Titan, one of the moons of Saturn, smells like gas too.

Apparently, the moon has oily lakes and rivers and a dense smog of hydrocarbons.

And you thought Earth's smog was bad.
