| United States | SP2191 | (USPS no.2115) souvenir page (5598-5607) | The stamp images "come from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), a spacecraft launched in February 2010 to keep a constant watch on the Sun" ... "SDO was the first mission in NASA's Living With a Star program" ... "Outfitted with equipment to capture images of the Sun in multiple wavelengths of visible, ultraviolet and extreme ultraviolet light, SDO gathers valuable information about the Sun 24 hours a day. Because Earth's atmosphere blocks some of these wavelengths, a space observatory above the atmosphere lets us see aspects of the Sun's activity that we could never see from Earth". | |
