The universe of United States postage stamps featuring James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) imagery is set to expand again in 2025.
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) on Monday (Dec. 16) revealed that its upcoming Priority Mail and Priority Mail Express flat rate stamps will feature two deep space vistas captured by the Webb observatory. Scheduled for release on Jan. 21, the stamps will be the second set to use JWST photos after the pair issued this year.
"USPS celebrates the continued exploration of deep space with an extremely high-definition image of a spiral galaxy 32 million light-years from Earth ... [and] a star cluster approximately 1,000 light-years from Earth," the postal service announced on its website on Monday. "The [images were] captured by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope."
