USPS Releases Stamps Featuring Stunning James Webb Space Telescope Images

The two new stamps showcase a spiral galaxy and a star cluster, highlighting the telescope's groundbreaking contributions to astronomy.

The United States Postal Service issued two new stamps on January 21, 2025, featuring images captured by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
One stamp depicts the spiral galaxy NGC 628, located 32 million light-years away in the Pisces constellation, with glowing gas and dust in vivid orange and red hues.
The other stamp showcases star cluster IC 348, located 1,000 light-years away in the Perseus constellation, with purple interstellar material reflecting starlight in a phenomenon known as a reflection nebula.
NASA officials highlighted the stamps as a way to bring groundbreaking space discoveries to the public, blending science and art.
This marks the latest in a series of USPS stamps celebrating JWST, following previous releases featuring the Cosmic Cliffs, the Pillars of Creation, and the telescope itself.
