Science fiction can take us to worlds beyond our own. They are often filled with fantastical environments. Usually, these environments are based on the ones found on Earth.

Join Hancock Park District and look at the worlds of science fiction media and relate them to a similar environment found within our solar system. In this installment, you will look at the desert planet Arrakis from the popular Dune series written by Frank Herbert. You will examine the planet’s inhabitants, such as the prolific sand worms, observe topography and natural resources, and compare Arrakis’ environment to a similar one on Earth.

Meet at the Discovery Center.  This free program is open to those 18 and older, please register by 1 p.m. on Friday, November 15.
