The newfound Mars meteorite, which scientist have named “Lebanon,” is nearly 7 feet (2 meters) wide and made of iron. Photos of the meteorite taken by Curiosity also revealed a smaller companion nearby, which is now dubbed “Lebanon B.”

Impressive.

There has been at least one meteorite found on Mars before, a basketball-sized iron-nickel meteorite found by Opportunity on 6 Jan 2005 (was it really that long ago!)
