Uranus is the seventh planet from the inside of the solar system and boasts the third largest size in the solar system next to Jupiter and Saturn. Uranus which can be confirmed even with the naked eye when approaching the earth most is clear that "Uranus has a terrible smell like a fart".

Uranus discovered in 1781 is a planet made mainly of ice including methane and ammonia, and clouds are present above the planet. Earlier scientists thought that "Uranium's atmosphere contains ammonia and hydrogen sulfide?" Thought that hydrogen sulfide in the atmosphere of Uranus was never observed directly was.

However, at Nature Astronomy on April 23, 2018, at the University of OxfordPatrick ErwinIt was announced that professor confirmed that hydrogen sulfide was contained in Uranus cloud. Professor Erwin is in HawaiiGemini ObservatoryI used a telescope to observe the upper part of Uranus' cloud. We discovered that Uranus' cloud refracts specific sunlight and confirmed that it contains hydrogen sulfide using spectroscopic measurements of refracted light by state-of-the-art equipment.

Professor Erwin was pleased that the measurements with subtle range of spectroscopy that was difficult up until now succeeded and said, "If a human enters Uranus clouds, it will be hit by a bad smell" .

Hydrogen sulfide was confirmed in Uranus, while Jupiter and Saturn, which occupy most of the composition by gas,Jupiter type planetHydrogen sulfide has not been confirmed. It is believed that the proportion of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in the planet is influenced by the temperature and position at the time the planet was formed, and this study, which was confirmed that hydrogen sulfide is present in Uranus, unravels the origin of the solar system It seems that it may become a key.
