Lost NASA Tool Bag Spotted Orbiting Earth, Visible to Stargazers

A tool bag was inadvertently lost during a spacewalk conducted by NASA astronauts and International Space Station residents. The bag, cataloged as 58229/1998-067WC, is now being tracked as a new orbital object by the US Space Force. It is expected to re-enter Earth's atmosphere in a few months and burn up completely. Observing the bag before it burns up may be possible with the proper equipment and timing. This is not the first time a tool bag has been lost during a spacewalk, but replacements have already been sent to the ISS.
