Astronaut and space expert Chris Hadfield will present never-before-seen space images on his UK and Ireland tour in 2025.

The acclaimed astronaut and spaceship will discuss the latest developments in space science and share memories from his career at 12 venues across the UK and Ireland next June.

Audiences at ‘Chris Hadfield: A Journey Into The Cosmos’ will be able to observe never-before-seen space imagery from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the International Space Station (ISS) which features incredible views of Earth, Mars and the Moon.

Hadfield went viral in 2013 as he filmed himself performing David Bowie’s classic song ‘Space Oddity’ on the ISS. He has since become a media personality in regards to all things space – as well as advising Elon Musk, Richard Branson and King Charles on how humans can make further exploration in orbit.

He said: “I am so excited to be coming to the UK and Ireland to talk about the amazing recent events in space, from failing spaceships and private spacewalks, to stunning new images of Earth and James Webb’s universe, and humanity beginning to settle on the Moon and then Mars.

“The latest of exploration and high technology, where space fans will have the chance to ask me questions directly. A shared evening of discovery and wonder like no other.”
