Martian Meteorite For Sale Is A 'Little Time Capsule'

While NASA's robot is taking photos of Martian rocks, there are several pieces of the real thing on Earth.

Scientists now describe how it was made, and what it's made of. Now this weekend a piece of the asteroid is up for sale at a pricy auction house in Manhattan. Science and art have converged in a piece of Martian rock.
