2017 Total Solar Eclipse stamp

The United States Postal Service issued the Total Eclipse of the Sun[2] Forever stamp[3] on June 20, 2017.

To help with this, the Postal Service sends panes of this stamp to purchasers in special UV-blocking envelopes.

The photograph of the total solar eclipse on the stamp was taken at Jalu, Libya on March 29, 2006,[8] by Fred Espenak.

The stamp's alternate image is a photo of the full moon taken by Espenak[9] at his observatory in Portal, Arizona in 2010.

[12] The stamp's First-Day-of-Issue ceremony took place on June 20, 2017, at the University of Wyoming's Art Museum in conjunction[15] with its annual summer solstice celebration.
