"Lost NASA Tool Bag Spotted Orbiting Earth, Visible to Stargazers"

TL;DR Summary
An astronaut's tool bag that was accidentally lost during a spacewalk at the International Space Station is now orbiting Earth and may be visible to skywatchers. The bag, which drifted away during maintenance work, is circling the planet in low-Earth orbit and poses little danger to the space station. With a stellar magnitude of +6, it may be difficult to spot with the naked eye but could be visible with binoculars. The tool bag will likely remain visible for a few months before its orbit degrades and it burns up harmlessly in the atmosphere.
