In case you missed it, Elon Musk's company SpaceX made history on April 8.

SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket into space and then improbably landed its booster on the deck of a robotic ship in the Atlantic Ocean.

The level of precision, accuracy, and ingenuity that went into this feat is mind-boggling. In fact, four previous ocean-landing attempts by the aerospace company ended in explosions.

Lucky for us, SpaceX just uploaded some incredible new photos of the successful landing.

Check out these high-resolution views taken from the ship's deck.
