Does Uranus stink?

Did you know that Uranus stinks? Well, it does. It smells like rotten eggs. Scientists are having a field day. They have good evidence due to their noses that Uranus smells very bad. I suggest you wash it.

If you don't believe what I said, read this article. They prove it.

Uranus stinks: Top scientists say planet smells like rotten eggs

In this image provided by NASA, this false-color Voyager picture of Uranus shows a discrete cloud seen a bright streak near the planet's limb. The picture is a highly-processed composite of three images obtained, Jan. 14, 1986, when the...
WASHINGTON — No, this isn’t a schoolyard joke: Top scientists have discovered the planet Uranus really does reek.
Due to “clouds of hydrogen sulfide” — the chemical compound that smells similar to a rotten egg — Uranus isn’t exactly the most habitable planet for humans, according to the study.
“If an unfortunate human were ever to descend through Uranus’ clouds, they would be met with very unpleasant and odoriferous conditions,” Patrick Irwin, first author of the study and a physics professor at the University of Oxford, told The Register.
There’s also the minor issue of temperatures reaching below 392 degrees below zero on the planet.
Scientists hadn’t found clear evidence of the planet’s chemical composition until now.
A Near-Infrared Integral Field Spectrometer (NIFS), a device in Hawaii, was used to filter sunlight reflected above the clouds to describe what the gas molecules are made of, The Register reported.
