Solar stamps (USA)

Post by Montana »

For anyone interested these look amazing!

I definitely need to buy some if I can find some to order. For those in the USA it should be easy for you to get to the post office to get your souvenirs.

I wish the Royal Mail would celebrate our lovely Sun one day.

The stamps look interesting although I noticed they don’t have values assigned. Would some sunspots be valued more than a prominence etc?

I did have a look at the sun yesterday in WL - no obvious sunspots. This morning, I took to adding some sunspots (aka raisins) to my porridge.

Early sun quickly disappeared before I could get outside this morning. It is a rare thing to get clear skies? I kind of took it for granted that it’s available - until you want it! There is supposed to be 50 hours of sunshine in January - I’m not convinced. More like 50 shades of grey (clouds) :bow .

Thanks, Alexandra.

Looks like a nice collection, especially for solar geeks.

I’m sure one of our US friends will offer to send you a set :)
