The scientific community would just collapse and we'd be worshipping cats as a world wide religion.

You're a couple thousand years late on this one

A teapot in orbit around the sun somewhere between Earth and Mars.

Or a vase of petunias and a blue whale skeleton?

Actually, I think they were referring to Russell's Teapot.

Yes, but now I regret not going for the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference.

As you should.

Gonna steal an idea from Karl Pilkington and leave a dishwasher somewhere on Mars for one of the rovers to find.

Maybe even an older model.
Bonus points if it was a popular model in a science fiction show.

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.

A giant ship that can transform into a giant robot maid, complete with a vacuum to suck planets' air.

Life. Soemthing like massive jellyfish living in the middle of space. Nothing around them, no atmosphere, no oxygen, no water, no light. Just massive jellyfish-like creatures "swimming" through the vacuum of space.

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.

I'd suggest 35,000 low-earth-orbit satellites but Elon is already working on that.
