          NASA issued the stamp to honor the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope on December 25, 2021. The stamp design features an artist's rendering of the telescope against a starry spacescape. The First Day of Issue Ceremony occurred at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum in Washington, DC. The James Webb Space Telescope, named after James E. Webb, is the largest and most powerful space telescope. It succeeded the Hubble Space Telescope, offering higher resolution and improved imaging capabilities. JWST observes in a lower frequency range, equipped with a sunshield to maintain extremely cold temperatures. The telescope orbits the Sun at 930,000 miles from Earth, providing a new era in space imaging. Unforeseen circumstances, including the COVID-19 pandemic, delayed JWST's launch from its initial plan in 2007.
