In September 2022, the U.S. Postal Service transformed one of humanity's most extraordinary scientific instruments into something anyone could hold in their hand. The James Webb Space Telescope — orbiting a million miles from Earth and already rewriting our understanding of the cosmos — was commemorated in a Forever stamp, bridging the infinite distances of deep space with the intimate, everyday act of sending a letter. It is a quiet reminder that the grandest human endeavors eventually find their way into ordinary life.
