Chris will engage with the audience plenty with a Q&A. He said of the UK and Ireland tour: "I love the UK and Ireland, so to be coming back and sharing my experiences once again is very exciting.
"We'll be talking about the latest discoveries and featuring the mind-blowing images recently captured by the James Webb telescope, and space fans will have the chance to ask questions about the amazing worlds out there."
