Lost Astronaut Tool Bag from ISS Spotted Orbiting Earth in Stunning Image
A lost tool bag from a spacewalk on the International Space Station (ISS) has been captured in a new telescope image taken from Rome. The tool bag was inadvertently lost by NASA astronauts during a spacewalk on November 1. The shiny object, visible in binoculars, was spotted by the Virtual Telescope Project. The bag will float in space for a few months before reentering Earth's atmosphere and burning up. NASA monitors space debris to ensure the safety of the ISS and its crew, with the potential for space junk increasing as the number of launches and satellites in orbit grows.
