is there a smell comparable to space ? i assume we dont know because we would die if we tried to smell it but thats so cool
yeah if humans tried to smell space just like that, we’d die, no doubt about it
but the smell of space lingers on spacewalk suits, and docking hatches when astronauts open them!
apparently, space itself smells like burning hot metal, or a hot barbeque grill with a slight hint of spent gasoline. The moon, apparently, smells like a gun after its been shot!
The coolest thing about it all is that the smell is actually what are left of dying stars- it’s literally the smell of stardust, and the particles smell like that because they’re so rich in hydrocarbons- something so very essential to life, and speculated by a lot of astronomers and astrobiologists and such to be the very thing life on earth started from!
another neat fact is that no two solar systems smell the same- ours smells like that because our solar system in particular is extremely rich in carbon, and other solar systems and places in the universe will have extremely different smells depending on what elements are most abundant in their system!

i’m a real twenty one pilots fan. i know more songs than just stressed out.
that doesn’t make me a planet though.
it should, but it doesn’t.
our next (and final?) space project is a brochure!! we have to do it on planets, which means no more pluto memes. mine is “a special sojourn on saturn” look at all that awesome alliteration. nothing beats alliteration. not even rhyming. okay maybe rhyming is pretty great but alliteration, the alliteration is totally on point here.
i guess you could say their relationship is...strictly plutonic
welcome to my space space (see what i did there) (space means two different things)
