Is there an Andy Warhol artwork on the moon? Beginning last night, those seeking an answer to that question were able to visit YouTube to tune in to the first episode of the eighth season of PBS series History Detectives, tantalizingly titled "Moon Museum."

On the show, the auburn-haired Gwendolyn Wright, one of the show's regular History Detectives, models red glasses and a collection of sporty scarves as she travels across the U.S. investigating the claim that a ceramic chip, smaller than a postage stamp and bearing tiny drawings by Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Claes Oldenburg, David Novros, Forrest Myers, and John Chamberlain was secretly attached to the craft used for the 1969 Apollo 12 moon landing by an enterprising Grumman engineer.

Mrs. Wright is filmed walking with a jaunty gait up to the home of Jade Dellinger, an online-auction aficionado who purchased one those chips for an undisclosed sum and who explains that it was part of a project to create a — wait for it — Moon Museum. Yes, a museum on the moon, one of the few places that Larry Gagosian has yet to establish an outpost. According to Dellinger, 16 or 20 of the chips were made. (NASA, for its part, has no records of the project.)

At another point in the episode, sculptor Forrest “Frosty” Meyers, who claims to have helped initiate the project, gives Wright a telegram that says that the chip was indeed loaded on board. It quickly becomes her favorite piece of evidence. She and Myers decide that the author of the telegram, John F. — that aforementioned engineer — is the only one who knows for certain whether the chip actually made it onto the Apollo 12 shuttle.

However, the elusive John F. remains unidentified, frustrating Mrs. Wright's efforts to solve the remarkable mystery, apparently the first-ever unsolved case featured on History Detectives. Mrs. Wright appeals for the help of PBS viewers to find John F. and get concrete answers.

Though initially skeptical, Wright finally concedes that there could very well be a Warhol on the moon. One wonders what Jeffrey Deitch would think of that.
