INTRO: The curious case of the conspicuously absent cherry tomato has finally been put to rest eight months after the lab-grown edible went missing.

In space, no one can hear a tomato scream, even when it’s lost. NASA’s Veg-05 experiment, a project focusing on growing fruits and vegetables in space, experienced an unusual turn of events when a Red Robin dwarf tomato vanished shortly after being harvested in March. This tomato, part of a study to explore the feasibility of continuous fresh-food production in space, was finally found, NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli revealed during a livestream on December 6.

The resolution of this culinary cosmic mystery came during the 25th-anniversary celebration of the ISS. Moghbeli, flashing a big grin, announced, “Our good friend Frank Rubio, who headed home [on September 27], has been blamed for quite a while for eating the tomato. But we can exonerate him. We found the tomato.” (MORE - details)

The plot thickens.
We still don't know where the tomato went.
Have they found a zippy bag with the tomato in?
Or found video of the tomato's last moments on Earth?

Thanks to the trusty transcript (and Find), I didn't have to watch the 19-minute video to learn that the livestream never disclosed where it was discovered, either. I can only infer that whatever nook or cranny it was floating/caught in lacks a precise technical name or enlightening location other than "that spot" (or other generic).
