For the first time in history, star-gazers will be able to catch a glimpse of a tool bag flying across Britain's night sky, after it was accidentally dropped by an astronaut during a space walk to repair the International Space Station.
But keen space watchers will need a telescope to see the bag, which will appear tonight as a speck in the sky, just ahead of the space station between 5.40 and 5.44pm.
According to our media you should be able to watch it with simple binoculars - the space station is even visible to the naked eye ... if the sky isn't clouded like just now.

We need a bunch of ion-drive nanobots to clean up LEO.
