Abstract
ID: 21
Interstellar Real Estate: Is this Planet for Sale? (And Also... Survivable?)
Purpose:
To evaluate the habitability of the three planets showcased in the film Interstellar, directed by Christopher Nolan. In addition to this, we also sought to understand the intricacies of planet habitability and provide traits that the last planet shown in the film likely possesses in order to be habitable.
Methods:
Research for this project was done via the collection of secondary sources, including academic studies relating to the habitability of planets, black holes, and exoplanets, academic journals, and the film Interstellar.
Results:
We found that the first two planets shown in the film would indeed not be habitable, and provided information about what would need to change in order for them to be habitable. We also theorized the reasons why the last planet was found to be habitable by analyzing the few clips of it shown in the film.
Conclusion:
The Miller and Mann planets are uninhabitable due to their closeness to a black hole, resulting in them having extreme surface conditions. The last planet, Edmund, is habitable because it resides in a habitable zone while orbiting the black hole. This causes its conditions to be similar to Earth's.
