Fodder for the space exploration enthusiast! How many new planets have we discovered in the pages of our favourite books, or in films? Remember the habitable moon Pandora, in the movie Avatar, the desert planet Arrakis in the Dune series, or the planet Alpha, in Asimov's Foundation series?! Well, writers, scientists are still discovering new planets, and, habitable or not, gas giant or frozen moon, they might be worth a look at for your next story idea!
