TL;DR Summary

A tool bag dropped by astronauts during a repair mission outside the International Space Station (ISS) has been photographed in a new telescope image. The image, captured by Gianluca Masi of the Virtual Telescope Project, shows the reflective tool bag as a sharp dot of light in the center, with stars leaving long trails in the background. The tool bag, which is gradually losing altitude, is expected to remain in orbit for a few more months before burning up in Earth's atmosphere.
