<b>With a stellar cast of scientists and science fictionists alike, a vivid exploration of realities behind imaginary planets.</b> <p> 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 <i>Amazing Worlds of Science Fiction and Science Fact</i>, Keith Cooper explores the fictional planets from films such as <i>Star Wars</i>, <i>Dune</i>, and <i>Avatar</i>, 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, <i>Amazing Worlds of Science Fiction and Science Fact</i> is perfect for readers of popular science and fans of science fiction.</p>
