Captured in vivid detail, the telescope observed the spiral galaxy NGC 628- 32 million light-years away from Earth, in the
constellation Pisces.
The image on the stamp is a digitally colored depiction of the invisible bands of near- and mid-infrared light emitted by
NGC 628. By assigning color to various infrared wavelengths, the digitized image allows us to see the galaxy with stunning
clarity.
Art director Greg Breeding designed the stamp, using an image provided by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space
Administration), ESA (European Space Agency), CSA (Canadian Space Agency), STScl (Space Telescope Science
Institute), Janice Lee (STScl), Thomas Williams (Oxford), and the PHANGS (Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby
GalaxieS) Team.
Spiral Galaxy is being issued in a pane of four stamps.
