NASA’s Mars Science Lab, also known as the Curiosity rover, spotted this strange, dark object on the Martian surface. The rover’s Mast Camera (Mastcam) took this photo of the golf ball-sized meteor on Oct. 30, 2016. Further inspection with Curiosity’s Chemistry and Camera (ChemCam) instrument revealed that the rock is an iron-nickel meteorite. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS
