The Postal Service’s 2026 Priority Mail and Priority Mail Express stamps will feature deep space images captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope.
Crab Nebula, the Priority Mail stamp, will spotlight one of the brightest remnants of an exploded star in the known cosmos. The Crab Nebula is located 6,500 light-years from Earth, in the constellation Taurus.
The stamp will be denominated at the new Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope rate.
Galaxy Pair, the Priority Mail Express stamp, will show a view of two interacting galaxies, IC 2163 and NGC 2207, located approximately 80 million light-years from Earth.
The stamp will be denominated at the new Priority Mail Express Flat Rate Envelope rate.
Greg Breeding, an art director for USPS, designed both stamps using NASA photos.
USPS announced the stamps this week. They will be released next year and will be available at Post Offices and on usps.com.
