TL;DR Summary

After mysteriously disappearing over eight months ago, a tomato grown in microgravity by US astronaut Francisco "Frank" Rubio has been found on the International Space Station (ISS). The tomato, part of an agricultural experiment to study sustainable food production in space, was feared to have been eaten by Rubio. However, during a live stream celebrating the ISS's 25th anniversary, the crew announced that the tomato had been located. The condition and exact location of the tomato were not disclosed. The tomato's discovery brings relief to Rubio, who spent a record 371 days in space and was concerned about being labeled a tomato thief.
