International Year of Astronomy Stamps
Posted on June 3rd, 2009 in Irish Science
The Astronomy Ireland newsletter reports that two stamps have been launched by An Post featuring world-famous astronomical images as part of the celebrations for the International Year of Astronomy (IYA) and in conjunction with the Europa stamp collection (issued every year by European postal authorities to promote public awareness of a shared European culture.) The An Post stamps contain images of the Crab Nebula and a Brown Dwarf, and are an exciting release for astronomers and stamp collectors alike.
