ALT A USPS forever stamp. The stamp is rectangular, wider than it is long, with the signature scalloped edges of a stamp. On the left, written vertically, the stamp says USA/Forever. In the bottom left corner, text reads 2022. The background fo the stamp is an illustration of space, with many, many bright white and blue points of stars. Streaks of bright white and gold, galaxies glowing with clustered stars, cross the image. In the center of the stamp, an illustration of the James Webb Space Telescope, which looks like stacked rhomboid sheets with a golden honeycomb made of hexagons, reflects more stars. Along the bottom, text reads Webb Space Telescope.
ALT Pale, nebulous clouds throng around a darker central area with a cluster of sparkling stars. These clouds are interspersed with darker filaments of deep brown and light blue. Orange stars peer through the clouds throughout the image.
ALT Fluffy tan-colored nebula clouds, with rust-colored highlights, surround a black central area. Within that area, the focal point of the image is one large yellow star with eight long thin points. To the right of this star is a bright star cluster in an oval shape. The stars within the cluster look like tiny pale blue sparkles. The cluster is more densely packed at its core and scatters outward. Towards the bottom of the image, multiple arms appear to spiral out of a cloudy tan knob. Taken together, the structures resemble a spider or a squid. Other blue and yellow eight-pointed stars, as well as distant galaxies, are dotted throughout the image.

ALT The Moon almost covers up the Sun's bright disk during the 2017 total solar eclipse creating a dark circle with a sliver of light on the bottom left-hand edge of the Sun.
ALT Cartoon of the photobombing concept. An Illustrated Earth appears the largest in the center with red sunglasses, facing right. An exoplanet appears behind Earth, "wearing" sunglasses with the hexagonal mirrors of the James Webb Space Telescope reflected in the glasses. The Moon appears tucked behind Earth, "wearing" blue sunglasses. And, Mars appears in the bottom right, facing the Earth, "wearing" rover sunglasses. The Sun appears, very small, in the bottom right.
ALT Uranus is seen in blue hues with its pale rings appearing as two spikes above and below the planet.
