March marked a milestone in private space exploration as Texas-based Firefly Aerospace successfully landed its first robotic spacecraft, the Blue Ghost Mission 1 lander, on the moon. This technological feat was also a defining moment for art, as the lander carried the LunARC mission, a collection of 30,000 digital artworks, to the lunar surface.

Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lunar lander successfully made a soft touchdown near an ancient volcanic feature on the moon’s near side early Sunday morning.
