AN ASTRONAUT who lived on the International Space Station is coming to Glasgow.

Colonel Chris Hadfield, who also completed a spacewalk and performed David Bowie’s Space Oddity on board the ISS, will discuss the latest developments in space science and share stories from his incredible career.

Chris Hadfield: A Journey Into The Cosmos, will include never-before-seen space imagery taken from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the International Space Station (ISS), featuring breathtaking views of Earth, the Moon, Mars and more.

The author and presenter will also be sharing some of his gripping personal stories and even performing live music.

Chris 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 the latest in exploration and high technology, where space fans will have the chance to ask me questions directly.

“It will be a shared evening of discovery and wonder like no other.”
