As if its deadly weather wasn't bad enough, scientists this week said a Jupiter-sized planet 64 light-years from Earth reeks of rotten eggs.
HD 189733 b is an exoplanet, which means it's located outside of our solar system. The atmosphere has clouds "laced with glass", and that glass pours down as rain, according to NASA. In a study published Monday in the journal Nature, researchers said the atmosphere also has trace amounts of hydrogen sulfide, causing the smell.
