I’m not sure why but this fills me with such inconsolable dread. Something about a dead cold rock floating through such vast nothingness.

    Yeah, and knowing the only reason you can see it is because of the lighting from the robot taking the photo. Otherwise it's just this thing shrouded in darkness flying through space at whatever ridiculously fast speed only to eventually run into something.

    This image is ripe for an SCP to be written up based on it.

    Imagine being one of the first humans to try to mine one of these, and you feel like you saw something moving in the corner of your eye, just where the light meets the shadow of one of the sharp lumps, but you can't be sure.

    No, no, no. It actually isn't lifeless. It contains some small microbes that are virtually undetectable. Their only effect on the human psyche is to create paranoia, delusions of grandeur, and remove all traces of empathy.
