Astronomers tinkering with ice and organics in the lab may have discovered why comets are encased in a hard, outer crust. Using an icebox-like instrument nicknamed Himalaya, the researchers show that fluffy ice on the surface of a comet would crystalize and harden as the comet heads toward the sun and warms up. As the water-ice crystals form, becoming denser and more ordered, other molecules containing carbon would be expelled to the comet's surface. The result is a crunchy comet crust sprinkled with organic dust.

1. Mmmmm, sulfur and ammonia ice cream!

Apparently, that's what the dust is, smelling just about as bad as lava does.

Mother Earth has halitosis and so do the rocks that combined to make her who she is.
