Lost space bag to reappear in British skies
A tool bag dropped by an astronaut during a space walk to repair the International Space Station will be visible in the sky above Britain tonight.
But star-gazers will need a telescope to see the bag, which will appear as a speck just ahead of the space station between 5.40 and 5.44pm.
The bag was one of the largest items ever to be lost by a spacewalker, and occurred during an unprecedented attempt to clean and lube a gummed-up joint at the international space station.

Police officers will be given 10,000 Taser stun guns under new plans.
Specially trained officers will be able to use the 50,000-volt weapons when faced with the threat of serious violence, the Home Office said.
But Amnesty international has warned the weapons were "potentially lethal" and called for a review of the decision.
My view on this is obvious…Tasers are “potentially lethal”, carrying a gun is erm probably a lot more lethal! They are needed as and when the situation is necessary, not just because they are cool.
