You come back inside after a spacewalk, take off your helmet, and a very distinct aroma hits you. Now, you might think, &ldquo;Wait, space is a vacuum! How can it <em>smell</em>?&rdquo; And you&rsquo;d be right to be curious, because it&rsquo;s not quite the vacuum itself that has a scent.</p> <p>What astronauts describe is actually a smell that clings to their spacesuits, tools, and the airlock after they&rsquo;ve been exposed to the raw vacuum of space. It&rsquo;s a truly unique scent that Earth-bound folks like us can only imagine, but the descriptions are pretty wild!</p>
