When analyzing the chemical makeup of comets, scientists found a mixture of pungent substances such as ammonia, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen cyanide, and hydrogen sulphide. This mean that comets likely smell like rotten eggs.
2022 marks the year scientists released footage of a black hole for the second time. What was unique about this image is that this showed the black hole at the center of our galaxy. To capture the image, scientists combined telescopes from around the planet.
Science suggests that slit pupils (whether vertical or horizontal) are a result of evolution. They are better able to control the amount of light that enters the eye, especially by keeping light out. This is why nocturnal animals tend to have slit pupils to help them live their lives in the dark.
