Am a big fan of the original Dune trilogy,and never realised that Arrakis orbits Canopus..next time I turn my scope in that direction I'll keep an eye out for sandworms..........also got to hunt down Paul Atreides' home planet orbiting Delta Pavonis

A great read Eric.
So ET lives next door in Andromeda or maybe the Triangulum.

Cheers Kev.

The movie is nowhere near as good as the made-for-TV boxed sets - "Dune" and "Children of Dune".

Thanks for the link Eric

That was a fantastic read, it certainly puts the Sci-fi universe into perspective.

Cheers
