IT IS the ultimate gift for any would-be astronaut. Scientists have come up with "scratch-and-sniff" posters that smell just like the moon.
They created the prints by working with Apollo 16 astronaut Charlie Duke, who described the moon dust residue that attached to his spacesuit in the 1970s as being "like spent gunpowder".
"Flavourist" Steven Pearce took Mr Duke's description, as well as scientific reports of the make-up of the moon's surface, to come up with the scent, which was then converted in a laboratory to an ink for the $55 poster scenes.
The prints will be sold through Edinburgh Printmakers, as the creation of printers Sue Corke and Hagen Betzwieser and their partnership called "We Colonised the Moon".
