the realism of planets in sci-fi films like Star Wars and
Dune.
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 a gas-giant planet from the
moon of Pandora? In Amazing Worlds of Science Fiction and Science
Fact, Keith Cooper explores the fictional planets from films such
as Star Wars, Dune and
Avatar, 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 the author shows. Featuring insights from over 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 perfect for readers of popular science and fans of
science fiction.
Keith Cooper is a science journalist who has written for New Scientist, Physics World, Sky & Telescope, Space.com and Supercluster, among others. He has a degree in Physics with Astrophysics from the University of Manchester and has edited Astronomy Now magazine for nearly 20 years. His books include The Contact Paradox (2019).
