you're over at Unmanned Space Flight and looking at some of the latest pictures from Curiosity on mars, see this animated gif of it drilling into rocks:

and immediately think "Artifact in upper right' then a little bit later notice the small rocks moving at 3 and 6 o'clock near the drill.
FYI: Forum page this was from is below in case anyone is interested.

That's an awesome find.
have you seen Rosetta's images of the comet? Absolutely amazing.

That's probably what some of the asteroids will look like up close - others (most of them) will look like Itokawa.
