Uranus Smells like Rotten Eggs - Yazata - Apr 24, 2018

Its upper atmosphere is mostly hydrogen sulfide gas. But the smell wouldn't be your biggest problem if you were dropped into Uranus' atmosphere, since the temperatures there are a frosty -200 degrees C (-328 F)... almost as cold as winter in Winnipeg. Plus, no oxygen.

On the plus side, no flies attracted to the odor.

Do you think smellovision is in the cards? How would they do it? Can you teleport pheromones?
