A new stamp celebrating the most powerful space telescope ever built will be issued by the United States Postal Service later this year.
As the James Webb Space Telescope settles into a solar orbit, another version of the satellite will soon be whizzing around Earth.
“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. The new stamp, whose specific release date has yet to be announced, was designed by art director Derry Noyes using existing art created by James Vaughan and an image provided by NASA and the Space Telescope Science Institute, the USPS said.
