Chris Hadfield is landing in Chilliwack this fall.

The retired Canadian astronaut will be at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre for Beyond the Sky: An Intimate Evening with Chris Hadfield on Sept. 25. The centre is calling it a "spectacular highlight" of its 15th anniversary season.

Hadfield, who's also an author and musician, will bring his signature blend of science, storytelling, and song to Chilliwack for a night of curiosity, creativity, and discovery. 

"From commanding the International Space Station to captivating millions with his viral cover of Space Oddity, Hadfield has inspired a generation to look to the stars 鈥� and to re-imagine what鈥檚 possible here on Earth," the centre stated in a press release.

The last time Hadfield was in Chilliwack was 18 years ago when he spoke to a gymnasium full of Grade 6 students on May 4, 2007. 

He recorded Space Oddity while orbiting the Earth in 2013, and has written several books including children's book The Darkest Dark in 2016. His most recent book Final Orbit is launching soon on Oct. 7.
