  Ammonia smells like Windex. Any piss connoisseur will tell you the importance of dimethyl sulfide, butyric acid, and trimethylamine

  I have a vague recollection from the past that Jupiter is a “failed star” in that it is “close” to the mass required to begin fusion, so I was confused about how an exoplanet could have several times its mass and not be a star.

  Turns out, the threshold for deuterium fusion is about 13x the mass of Jupiter, so I guess it’s “close” in that it’s closer than anything else in the solar system (other than the sun), but less close than I assumed. Still, Epsilon Indi Ab is even closer to becoming a brown star. Or perhaps a golden star? Because of the pee smell?

  And lest you think this planet is dorky, according to science:

  with a temperature of about 275 K (2 °C; 35 °F), [Epsilon Indi Ab is] the coolest exoplanet to be directly imaged.

    Since brown dwarfs are considered to be failed stars, Jupiter would be a “failed failed star”.

  Pissmaster from Rick and Morty could have been the hero he always wanted to be on that planet.

    I thought you said Piss Rick for a moment, like when Rick Sanchez took on the role of Pissmaster so he wouldn’t be as much of a disappointment to his daughter (I think), after he (Pissmaster) killed himself. Christ, that show was fucking dark.

      They didn’t even tell him, he thought it was going to be lemon scented. Second funniest prank NASA ever pulled

    This is probably satire, but in case anyone was wondering how they did figure out the atmosphere (could possibly maybe) smell like pee:

    The technique is called “spectroscopy” and, in a nutshell, different elements and compounds absorb light differently, creating an absorption spectrum. Spectrum, spectroscopy. NASA found that the atmosphere was composed of ammonia and water, the two main ingredients in our pee, with ammonia in particular creating the scent. I think it’s very cool that, based on the slight differences in light, we can tell what’s inside the atmosphere of a planet many (and I mean many) light years away! And one light year is very long indeed, so it’s a really big distance for us small humans!

      Additionally, a few of the articles I found add the possibility of rain on this exoplanet, which could be detected through how reflective such rain clouds would be! Pretty neat I think, but not so good if you happened to visit a planet that’s literally raining wee.
