so international space station astronauts apparently dropped a tool bag during a spacewalk. and if you look outside when the ISS is in your region, you can see it with binoculars
The tool bag is now orbiting our planet just ahead of the ISS with a visual magnitude of around 6, according to EarthSky. That means it is slightly less bright than the ice giant Uranus, the seventh planet from the sun. As a result, the bag — officially known as a crew lock bag — is slightly too dim to be visible to the unaided eye, but skywatchers should be able to pick it up with binoculars. To see it for yourself, first find out when you can find spot the space station over the next few months (NASA even has a new app to help you). The bag should be floating two to four minutes ahead of the station. As it descends rapidly, the bag is likely to disintegrate when it reaches an altitude of around 70 miles (113 kilometers) over Earth.

New Photos of “Uranus” by NASA (2023)
Peering beneath clouds of the ice giant - Uranus - scientists have seen strong evidence of a large polar cyclone at the planet's north pole. Astronomers, using data from ground-based telescopes, looked deeper into Uranus' atmosphere than ever before, observing that air at the north pole seems drier and warmer, an indication of a strong cyclone.
