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. Valued at $100,000, the tool bag can be spotted using binoculars by locating the ISS and scanning the sky ahead of its trajectory. The bag is expected to orbit Earth 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.
