Overview
\"Have you ever wondered what it would be like to watch a double sunset on Tatooine, stand among the sand dunes of Arrakis or gaze at the gas-giant planet Polyphemus from the moon Pandora? In 'Amazing worlds of science fiction and science fact,' Keith Cooper explores fictional planets in film, TV and literature, from those of the Star wars, Dune and Avatar universes, to Star trek and Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, and discusses how realistic they are based on our current scientific understanding and astronomical observations. The real exoplanets astronomers are now discovering are truly stranger than fiction, as this book reveals. Featuring insights from more than a dozen scientists and award-winning science fiction authors, including Charlie Jane Anders, Stephen Baxter and Alastair Reynolds, 'Amazing worlds of science fiction and science fact' is a perfect choice for readers of popular science and fans of science fiction\"--Inside jacket flap.
