Lost in space
The Virtual Telescope Project 2.0 captured an image of the ISS crew lock bag lost in space on November 1. The photo, taken on November 15 with a 2-second exposure from a robotic telescope in Manciano, Italy, shows the bag orbiting Earth at 17,500 mph (28,000 kilometers per hour). Astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O’Hara lost the bag during an ISS spacewalk. It’s now a +6th magnitude object in Earth’s orbit, near the visibility threshold for the naked eye.
