The astronaut lands and goes viral...

A Tampa Bay Lightning fan dressed as an astronaut got lots of attention as he lurked in front of Carey Price #31 of the Montreal Canadiens in Game Six of the Eastern Conference Semifinals during the 2015 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs at Amalie Arena on May 12, 2015 in Tampa, Florida.

There's been one notable absence since fans have returned to Amalie Arena for the Tampa Bay Lightning's run for the Stanley Cup.  What happened to the astronaut?

The photos went viral as the mysterious astronaut began gazing at players on the Bolts opponents' players bench.  Certainly a distraction, the space explorer would slowly lurk on the other side of the glass and stare that uncomfortable stare.  But ever since COVID-19 bodychecked us, he's gone missing.  The Tampa Bay Business Journal's Luke Torrance got on the case to find out what happened to the Tampa Bay Lightning Astronaut.
