Scitech Daily | Nov. 2, 2023 | NASA

NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O’Hara concluded their spacewalk today at 2:47 p.m. EST after 6 hours and 42 minutes.

During the activity, one tool bag was inadvertently lost. Flight controllers spotted the tool bag using external station cameras. 

From a commenter:

“Former NASA astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper lost the bag during a November spacewalk to repair a bulky solar array joint on the International Space Station” – 2008

“Peggy Whitson, who became the world’s most experienced female spacewalker during the outing, told ground control teams that a bag containing the debris shield floated away at about 10am EDT/1400 GMT on Thursday.” – 2017
