Hey being It remains a source of countless mysteries and curiosities. After all, it is a little-explored place that can hold great surprises.
However, with the level of exploration that our technology already allows, we have some interesting information about the massiveness of stars.
Recently there was a strange incident with an astronaut named Frank Rubio. The event was so unusual that there was a months-long investigation to solve everything.
But, after all, what could a professional have done that would have caused all this fuss?

Essentially, Rubio accomplished the feat of losing a tomato he grew spaceAt the beginning of the current year 2023.
Taking into account that this type of experiment has been going on for a long time and aims to find out how plants interact with atmospheres different from Earth’s.
“I put them in a bag, and one of my crewmates was doing a public event with some school kids, so I thought it would be cool to show the kids: ‘Hey guys, these are the first tomatoes harvested in space.'” The astronaut said at a news conference in October.
“I was pretty sure I had it installed where it was supposed to be… and then I came back and it was gone,” Rubio concludes.
In light of these statements, a hypothesis was raised that the astronaut lied only in order to obtain a clear view.
However, according to experts, in a microgravity environment, objects not attached to the wall can float away. For this reason, Frank Rubio spent between eight and twenty hours searching for… tomatoes.
“Unfortunately — because that’s human nature — a lot of people think he probably ate the tomatoes.” “And I wanted to find it mainly to prove that I didn’t eat it.”
Unfortunately, the man did not find the fruit before returning to the planet on September 27.
The crew, consisting of seven people who remained on the space station, claimed that they had finally found the food that their colleague had lost, although they did not reveal its location.
“We can exonerate him,” astronaut Yasmine Moghbeli joked.
