Launched on December 25, 2021, Webb now orbits the Sun about a million miles away from Earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe image on the stamp is an artist’s digitally created depiction of the telescope against a dazzling starscape. Webb’s 18 gold-coated mirror segments — hexagons that combine to form its 21-foot-wide primary mirror — can pick up faint heat waves representing the universe’s first accessible starlight from billions of light-years away. The secondary mirror, supported by three struts, is opposite the primary mirror. Below are Webb’s solar shield, computers, control machinery, and the solar array that provides power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe selvage image of a star and distant space was taken by Webb early in its mission, brilliantly confirming the perfect alignment of the telescope’s 18 mirror segments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWebb will provide views of the universe in its infancy, including galaxies during their formation. The telescope may identify planets with conditions advantageous for supporting life as we know it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eJames Webb Space Telescope\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e stamp is being issued as a Forever® stamp in panes of 20.
