Apollo 11 astronauts didn't expect this
The Apollo 11 astronauts were surprised to discover that the Moon has a distinct smell. This odor clung to their spacesuits, equipment, and the lunar samples they collected, becoming noticeable once they were back in an environment with air. They described the smell as metallic, something to burnt gunpowder or the scent in the air after a firecracker explodes. This smell likely resulted from a chemical reaction between lunar dust and the oxygen in the air.
