A tool bag accidentally dropped by International Space Station astronauts is orbiting Earth and you can see it with a pair of binoculars.
According to NBC News, when NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O'Hara were performing maintenance on the exterior of the International Space Station, their tool bag escaped and made its way into space.
At least the astronauts were done with it work them and the tools were not needed for the remainder of the spacewalk.
The event happened on November 1 and the astronauts located the tool bag using the external ones cameras of the station. You can see her moment of "escape" from here.
The bag has entered orbit, is now circling the planet and is about a minute ahead of the space station. NASA said there was little risk of the tools hitting the International Space Station.
Mission Control analyzed the bag's trajectory and determined that the risk of re-contact with the station is low and that the crew and space station are safe with no action required.
At present, the lost tool bag has become a new artificial "star" in the night sky. The tool bag can become bright enough to see with a pair of binoculars.
As NBC News reports, “Sky watchers who want to try to spot the tool bag should go out on a clear night and first determine when the International Space Station passes overhead. Then look at the point of contact a minute further. The tool bag will likely remain visible in the night sky for a few months before its orbit slowly degrades and eventually falls to Earth."
