Can you smell the rain in the air? That rain smell has a name: #Petrichor!
It was created by two Australian scientists, Isabel Joy Bear and R. G. Thomas from #CSIRO in 1964.
And at Hilltops Egg Farm, in March 2019, there is no lovelier smell than petrichor - we love the rain!
If you are curios how they came up with 'petrichor': it comes from the Greek words 'petra', meaning stone and 'ichor', meaning the blood of gods in ancient myth.#newwords #welovescience
