NASA's Curiosity Rover discovered a rather sizable metallic meteorite sitting on the surface of Mars. The scientific vehicle reportedly came upon the remarkable object late last month as it was exploring an area around the Red Planet's Mount Sharp. By way of a laser instrument equipped to the rover, the space agency was able to determine that the meteorite, which measures around a foot in diameter and has been given the name 'Cacao,' is comprised of iron-nickel.
