Dune: Scientists Determine People Could Survive On Desert Planet Arrakis
Scientists determine that people could actually survive on Dune's desert planet Arrakis. The science-fiction novel by Frank Herbert was published in 1965 and remains a classic of the genre, having inspired multiple TV and film adaptations that historically struggled to fully capture its narrative and themes. The most recent of these adaptations, Denis Villeneuve's Dune, tackles only the first half of the source material and was a critical success upon release.
