Crashed Probe
Crashed Probes are found on Venus in craters. They are extremely rare, you may have to travel far and wide to find one.
They represent all that remains of earlier probes sent from the Overworld to investigate Venus. Space probes do not survive for long in the highly corrosive atmosphere of Venus.
Usage
The Crashed Probe block has some contents which can be seen by right-clicking it, similar to a chest or machine block. Normally it contains multiple metal ingots and some compressed metals - so it has high value.
When broken with a pickaxe, the Crashed Probe will drop a Radioisotope Core. This is extremely useful - it is used in the crafting of the Atomic Battery, for infinite power.
Obtaining
The Crashed Probe block cannot normally be obtained (except in Creative Mode). If a Crashed Probe block is obtained and placed down in any world, it will be empty - it will not contain metals or any Radioisotope Core.
As with other valuable blocks in the game, you can create a block which looks like a Crashed Probe, by shift-clicking a Panel Lighting block against it to pick up its look. Then any Panel Lighting blocks you place will have the appearance of a Crashed Probe. (In fact they will be lighting blocks of course, not Crashed Probes.)
