10 Ways to BBQ on an Alien World

There are over 3,700 planets in our galaxy. Many of them orbit stars outside our solar system, these are known as exoplanets. Spend a summer weekend barbecuing it up on any of these alien worlds.

(WARNING: Don’t try any of this on Earth—except the last one.)

1. Lava World

Janssen aka 55 Cancri e

Hang your steak on a fishing pole and dangle your meat over the boiling pools of lava on this possible magma world. Try two to three minutes on each side to get an ashy feast of deliciousness.

2. Hot Jupiter

Dimidium aka 51 Pegasi b

Set your grill to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit (982 degrees Celsius) or hop onto the first exoplanet discovered and get a perfect char on your hot dogs. By the time your dogs are done, it’ll be New Year’s Eve, because a year on this planet is only four days long.

3. Super Earth

HD 40307 g

Super air fry your duck on this Super Earth, as you skydive in the intense gravity of a planet twice as massive as Earth. Why are you air frying a duck? We don’t know. Why are you skydiving on an exoplanet? We’re not judging.

4. Lightning Neptune

HAT-P-11b

I’ve got steaks, they’re multiplying/and I’m looooosing control. Cause the power this planet is supplying/is electrifying!

Sear your tuna to perfection in the lightning strikes that could flash across the stormy skies of this Neptune-like planet named HAT-P-11b.

5. Red Earth

Kepler-186f

Tired of all that meat? Try a multi-colored salad with the vibrant plants that could grow under the red sun of this Earth-sized planet. But it could also be a lifeless rock, so BYOB (bring your own barbecue).

6. Inferno World

Kepler-70b

Don’t take too long to prep your vegetables for the grill! The hottest planet on record will flash-incinerate your veggies in seconds!

7. Egg-shaped

WASP-12b

Picture this: You are pressure cooking your chicken on a hot gas giant in the shape of an egg. And you’re under pressure to cook fast, because this gas giant is being pulled apart by its nearby star.

8. Two suns

Kepler-16b

Evenly cook your ribs in a dual convection oven under the dual stars of this “Tatooine.” Kick back and watch your two shadows grow in the fading light of a double sunset.

9. Takeout

Venus

Order in for a staycation in our own solar system. The smell of rotten eggs rising from the clouds of sulfuric acid and choking carbon dioxide will put you off cooking, so get that meal to go.

10. Take a Breath

Earth

Sometimes the best vacations are the ones you take at home. Flip your burgers on the only planet where you can breathe the atmosphere.

Grill us on Twitter and tell us how bad our jokes are.

Check out the first online retrospective dedicated to commemorating the life and legacy of one of the most important artists of 20th century, Frida Kahlo. “Faces of Frida” gives you access to a virtual collection composed of more than 800 iconic works and items, including photos, letters, and portraits that you can enjoy. 

The project was completed thanks to Google Arts & Culture and many organizations across the world. Take a look at our contribution and get excited to see this portrait of Kahlo in “Face to Face: Portraits of Artists” opening at the Museum on June 26.

. . . Y después de una taza de té, sigo pensando en cómo olvidarte. Teddy GleZ.

Yergue su imperio el sol de mayo: el cielo y el mar un solo cuerpo sin conceder espacio al horizonte. Recojo un puñado de arena y lo dejo caer lentamente: sólo uno de los cristales pertenece en mi mano. Así sólo tú eres mujer entre todas las que me rodean. Epigramas para la desamada (fragmento) de Vicente Quirarte, en Fundada en el tiempo.

Éramos como estrellas iracundas: llenos de libros, manifiestos, amores desolados, desoladamente tristes a la orilla del mundo, víctimas victoriosas de un severo y dulce látigo de aura crepuscular. Efraín Huerta. Tristan e Isolda. Rogelio de Egusquiza, 1910. Detalle.

“Un día vas a tener a esa persona un domingo y despertarán a las 11 de la mañana y harán de comer y volverán a dormir, a querer, a amar. Un día estarás feliz, sabrás lo bonito que es la vida y entenderás que de eso se trata, de sentir, de querer, de estar".
