All jokes aside, Uranus smells like rotten eggs.

That's the conclusion of a group of scientists who recently released a study of the planet's atmosphere, although they used bigger words to describe the "gaseous" smell.

The study was published Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy and it established the chemical composition of Uranus’ upper cloud deck is "deep bulk sulfur/nitrogen."

In other words, "Uranus smells like farts," as multiple media outlets put it this week.
