TL;DR Summary

A tool bag lost by NASA astronauts during a spacewalk is now orbiting Earth just ahead of the International Space Station (ISS) and is surprisingly visible to stargazers using binoculars. The $100,000 tool bag slipped away during repairs on ISS equipment but posed no risk to the station. It is expected to orbit for a few months before rapidly descending and disintegrating in the Earth's atmosphere around March of next year. This is not the first time an astronaut has lost tools in space, as a similar incident occurred in 2008.
