NEW TUESDAY, 9PM,
CHANNEL 5 FACTUAL

British astronaut Tim Peake famously spent six months on the International Space Station in 2015 and 2016. Now, he's drawing on his out-of-this-world experience to present a new three-part exploration of the universe.

In Channel 5's Secrets of Our Universe with Tim Peake, the 51-year-old shares his memories of that famous mission, plus looks at the planets of our solar system, stars, black holes and space travel. Along the way, with the help of experts, he'll tackle some of the big questions about life, the universe and everything  in between, from the chances of finding alien life to the prospect of colonising other planets.
