#5598S- Sun Science - Set of 10

Printed with a foil treatment that adds a sheen to the stamps, the images on these 10 stamps are from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, a spacecraft launched in February 2010 that keeps a constant watch on the sun from geosynchronous orbit above Earth. The stunning colors in these images do not represent the actual colors of the sun as seen by the human eye. Each image has been colorized by NASA according to different wavelengths that reveal or highlight specific features of the sun’s activity. Scott 5598-5607 Sun Science
