While traversing the Meridiani Planum on Mars, the Opportunity rover came across the remains of its own heat shield, looking quite out of place on the otherwise barren flats.   Oddly, the rover investigated the football sized rock in the foreground, as it too seemed out of place, and it turned out to be a meteorite, also fallen out of the sky in some eon past.
