My take of that would be the station from the little martian from Looney Tunes in the full 3D cartoon style.
Sort of like a cell shaded structure in a realistic lighted environment.

Everything is already in space. Also, whale songs
Arts and Humanities research.
A paper floating in space that reads 'Probing the 'Other': Conceptions of Zipzorpian-Terran Relations in Early Explorer Narratives'
A lone white lawn chair on the surface of Mars
Moon sized amoeba.
Call it The Amooba.
A single protein molecule.
Something subtle enough to spark debate and controversy but not overplaying it like putting an entire living thing from Earth would be.

NASA: Oh you guys are back early!
Astronaut: Moon's haunted.
NASA: What?
