BBC NEWS | UK | Scotland | Highlands and Islands | Astronaut's lost bag over north: "A tool bag lost by astronauts working on the International Space Station should be visible from the Highlands this week, according to astronomers.

Some members of Highlands Astronomical Society hope to catch a glimpse of the kit which came loose and drifted away last month.

The website Heavens Above has given predictions of where to look out for the bag.

They said it should be visible using binoculars or a telescope.

Maarten de Vries, of Highlands Astronomical Society, said that at its brightest the object was about as bright as the planet Neptune.

However, because the bag is moving rapidly against the 'fixed' stars in the night sky, it should be easily identified when seen in a telescope."
