NASA astronaut Don Pettit has finally shared the real story behind a bizarre, tentacled object photographed aboard the International Space Station (ISS) that had many people online convinced it was an alien. This image, which quickly went viral, had social media users scratching their heads and even feeling a little uneasy.
According to UNILAD, the picture, shared by Pettit on X, shows a grey, lumpy object that looks like something straight out of a sci-fi flick. It’s got these weird, tentacle-like sprouts coming out of its surface, earning it the nickname ‘Spudnik-1’.
