Mint Stamps Commemorate 50 Years of Space Exploration

Get a close-up view of the far-away planets in our Solar System with this sheet of six mint stamps.  Each one has photo-quality images of the surface of our distant neighbors.  You’ll see dust storms on Mars’s north pole, Saturn, Jupiter’s atmosphere, craters on Mercury, Venus, and another view of mercury.

This sheet was issued to coincide with the 2007-08 International Polar Year.  International Polar Years have been held every 50 to 75 years since 1882.  They’re a time when countries from around the world work together to study Earth’s polar regions.
