Can outer space have a smell?
Astronauts returning from spacewalks have described a strange odor clinging to their suits and equipment after the airlock is repressurized. The descriptions are wild: burnt steak, hot metal, welding fumes, gunpowder, ozone, and sometimes even a sweet note.
Even stranger, that smell inspired a real fragrance called Eau de Space.
In this Midnight Question, Mari looks at why astronauts report a “smell of space,” what may actually cause it, and how someone turned that impossible idea into a perfume.
Midnight Question is where strange thoughts become short stories about science, life, and the weird facts hiding in ordinary moments.
