Yes, Uranus is smelly: ‘Odiferous’ gas ‘most people avoid’ found in planet’s clouds, researchers say

NASA flies all the way to Uranus, costing the taxpayers millions of dollars just so they can tell us that Uranus is smelly?

Sounds about right.

At least they named the planet correctly.

It might be funnier, if you were actually joking.

Nobody flew anywhere. The data was obtained through a telescope in Hawaii. And the point was to discover the atmospheric composition of the planet. Not to find out what it smells like.

NASA uses a small portion of the budget.
$19.1B FY17...~1.5% of the national budget. It's literally equivalent to the average person (Median US $40K/yr) buying a decent watch.

Quite easy to do with spectrum analysis.

Wait, a thread about Uranus and you come in and make a serious post? My world is all askew.
