USPS will start selling James Webb Space Telescope stamps on August 8th

<p>Want to show your fondness for the James Webb Space Telescope (https://www.engadget.com/nasa-james-webb-space-telescope-first-color-images-152109471.html) in physical form? The US Postal Service might have what you're looking for. The mail agency is launching (https://about.usps.com/newsroom/national-releases/2022/0726ma-usps-celebrates-james-webb-space-telescope.htm) a JWST stamp that will be available to pre-order (https://store.usps.com/store/results/stamps/_/N-9y93lv) starting August 28th in sheets of 20. It's ultimately a digital depiction of the telescope against a galactic backdrop, but that may be all you need to flaunt your space fandom when you send a letter or parcel</p><p>The USPS didn't detail pricing. As a Forever stamp, however, the JWST print will always be worth the First-Class Mail one-ounce price. You won't have to worry about using extra stamps years down the road, then. Forever 20-stamp sheets typically cost $12.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>Yes, there's a certain irony to celebrating bleeding-edge astronomy using mail stickers invented in the 19th century. You might want to buy a t-shirt (https://www.shopnasa.com/products/james-webb-navy-tshirt?_pos=1&amp;_sid=d74bf219b&amp;_ss=r) or similar merch if you're interested in visibility. Look at it this way, though: stamps are relatively inexpensive, and they might do the trick if you're either a collector or just want to add a personal touch to your mail.</p>
