As the James Webb Space Telescope settles into a solar orbit, another version of the satellite will soon be whizzing around Earth.
A new stamp featuring the most powerful space telescope ever built will be issued by the United States Postal Service (USPS) later this year, giving collectors of space memorabilia (or stamps!) something new to add to their collection, and letter writers something to stick on their envelopes.
“Celebrate NASA’s remarkable James Webb Space Telescope, the largest and most complex telescope ever deployed in space, capable of peering directly into the early cosmos and studying every phase of cosmic history,” the USPS said in a message announcing the new stamp.
We also celebrate NASA’s remarkable James Webb Space Telescope for a commendable job.
