Lost NASA tool bag is in orbit could be visible from Earth

An astronaut’s tool bag that accidentally floated away during a routine spacewalk at the International Space Station is now orbiting Earth and may be bright enough to spot by keen-eyed skywatchers.

Dave Dickinson, author of the 2020 book “The Backyard Astronomer’s Field Guide: How to Find the Best Objects the Night Sky has to Offer,” posted on X that the tool bag is orbiting about a minute ahead of the space station.

Dickinson added that the tool bag has a stellar magnitude of +6, which means it may be tough to spot with the unaided eye but could be bright enough to pick out in the night sky with a pair of binoculars.

NASA’s Spot the Station mobile app and website can help people track the space station based on their location. The ISS is typically the third-brightest object in the night sky, according to NASA, and looks like a fast-moving plane to the naked eye.

Then, to try to see the lost bag, stargazers can use binoculars to monitor a bit ahead of the space station’s path, looking for a faint moving object leading the way.
