Carina Nebula featured on pair of cinderella stamps

While I don’t receive huge quantities of mail in connection with my responsibilities as treasurer for the Local Post Collectors Society, a few covers do show up when it’s time for members to pay their annual dues. This year, one of the envelopes bore a pair of cinderella stamps picturing the Carina Nebula

The “JWST” at the bottom of the stamps appears to reference the James Webb Space Telescope. Images of the Carina Nebula and four other targets of interest were among the first taken by the James Webb Space Telescope that were released in July 2022.

These items do not appear to be local post stamps, but true cinderellas.
