For those of you who don’t know, the penguin toy was part of the Crew-2 which took off to the International Space Station onboard SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spaceship in April. The toy acted as a zero-gravity, or zero-G, indicator, which would tell astronauts and observers the ship has left the pull of Earth’s gravity.

During SpaceX’s Demo-2 mission last May, NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley took a similar sequined plush dinosaur toy to the space station.
