An exoplanet in our celestial ‘neighborhood,’ located about 64 light-years away, was already known for its extreme weather. Any visitor willing to brave the 1,700 degree Fahrenheit temperatures would also have to put up with a rain of molten glass that blows sideways in the world’s fierce wind.

Parts of space might be a bit smelly. The stench of rotten eggs could be wafting off of exoplanet HD 189733 b. This nearby exoplanet known for its tumultuous weather has an atmosphere that is predominantly made of hydrogen sulfide, a molecule that gives off a foul odor.

Our universe is continually being explored by researchers, and a recent discovery was made about the catchily named exoplanet HD 189733 b. One notable tidbit: this particular planet, dubbed a "hot Jupiter," stinks like rotten eggs due to an abundance of hydrogen sulfide in the atmosphere.

Scientists made an exciting -- and pungent -- announcement about a nearby exoplanet this week, finding that a planetary body with a likeness to Jupiter smells of rotten eggs. Analyzing data gathered by the James Webb Space Telescope,

ROUGHLY 64.5 light-years away, an exoplanet infamous for its violent weather has made a name for itself in another department: its smell. Its atmosphere stinks of rotten eggs, according to data

A planet known as HD 189733b is not only scorching hot, but it also smells like rotten eggs due to it containing traces of hydrogen sulfide.

Roughly Jupiter-sized, HD 189733 b is filled with hydrogen sulfide, teaching astronomers how these planets form
