Backyard Skywatchers Find Tool Bag Lost in Space
Amateur
astronomers have been monitoring a shiny tool bag that has been orbiting Earth
ever since it was dropped last week by an astronaut during a spacewalk outside
the International Space Station.
Veteran
spacewalker and Endeavor astronaut Heide Stefanyshyn-Piper lost
her grip on the backpack-sized bag on Nov. 18 while cleaning up a mess from
a leaking grease gun she was carrying to help mop up metal grit from inside a
massive gear that turns the space station's starboard solar wings.
