NASA’s Curiosity rover found a weird metal rock on Mars

It's not everyday that you find a space rock on Mars. But that's exactly what NASA's Curiosity rover discovered on Oct. 27. The rock looks completely different from its surroundings because it's made of completely different materials. NASA decided to investigate further by using the rover's ChemCam laser, which gave scientists information about what the rock's chemical composition.

If NASA were Christopher Columbus
Sailor: “Land spotted!”
Columbus: “Nothing? Let’s turn around and search again back the way we came”

I'm sure there are a lot of meteorites to be found on Mars.

Finally a video in which we can see an iron - nickel meteorite instead of rocks. :D

Metorites land on more than just the earth, that is not really a surprise find, but a rare find. Meteorite like that is probably worth quite a bit.

When lies are told. They become brighter when you close your eyes and open up your heart.

Of all the names and words why would they call it something that has connotations of life.

I find rocks like this on the beach all the time

[biker]

Not to much dust on it that is real unusual

So it didn’t crash land a millions years ago... if it did then what happened to the other egg rocks that landed there before that one? Exactly

A flying saucer carberator, i'm pretty sure.

What is so strange about a meteor being found on Mars?

Scientist: We need to show something for all the money we spending. Show the rock.
Scientist 1: We don't know anything about this rock and it's basically just an asteroid.
Scientist 2: Just say it came there "millions of years ago".
Anti-religious corporates: Sigh... *breathes normally again*

[tmartinez]

It landed there millions of years ago but is totally uncovered...

[michaelpether]

Or is a pice of metal machinery that has been melted?

There was life on Mars, it even reached Earth. Evidence of this statement can be seen on the cover of the book Obcy w epoce kamienia (Aliens in the Stone Age). It consists of two photographs of fragments of the surface of the message left by someone who was not human.

Makes you wonder what it will be when it hatches.

[BiPolarBear]

[ozzfest]

Our space litter burned up in the thin martian atmosphere. And speed is relative.
