Lost Space Tomatoes Found After 8 Months: NASA's Surprising Discovery

NASA has revealed the first image of two tomatoes that were lost in space for eight months. Astronaut Frank Rubio accidentally lost the tomatoes while harvesting for the XROOTS experiment, a soil-less plant experiment. The tomatoes were recently found by the ISS crew, dehydrated and slightly squashed but without any visible microbial or fungal growth. The XROOTS experiment aims to develop space agricultural methods to sustain crews on long-term space flights.
