The U.S. Postal Service has released a series of stamps featuring images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), showcasing some of the most stunning cosmic visuals ever seen. These stamps, which went on sale on September 22, 2023, include images of the "Cosmic Cliffs" in the Carina Nebula, the "Phantom Galaxy" (M74), the "Pillars of Creation" in the Eagle Nebula, and a unique view of the JWST itself. Priced at 73 cents each, these stamps not only celebrate the technological marvel of the JWST but also aim to inspire public interest in space exploration. The images were selected for their ability to convey the beauty and mystery of the universe, with the "Cosmic Cliffs" depicting a star-forming region, the "Phantom Galaxy" showing a face-on spiral galaxy, and the "Pillars of Creation" highlighting areas where new stars are being born. This initiative reflects the USPS's tradition of commemorating significant scientific achievements through philately.
