Science oftentimes is a point of inspiration for entertainment, particularly astronomy. However, creators also take a lot of artistic license when they use science in their stories, leading to glaring inaccuracies. For this extra credit, think about some of your favourite media that uses astronomy in an integral way. This media can range from movies (like Interstellar or Contact), TV shows (like StarTrek: The Next Generation or The Expanse), or books (like Hitchhiker's Guide or Arthur C Clarke’s works).
