A faraway planet known for its dire weather also whiffs of rotten eggs, according to a new study.
Scientists studied the atmosphere of HD 189733 b, which has scorching temperatures and precipitation akin to raining glass, using data from the James Webb Space Telescope.
Hydrogen sulphide, which also exists on Jupiter, makes up most of HD 189733 b’s atmosphere, and emits a bit of a pong, according to researchers. The gas is also emitted during farts.
