The image for the stamp is star cluster IC348, located in the constellation Perseus. Located about 1,000 light-years away from Earth, the star cluster was recorded by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Inside the cluster of stars are three floating brown dwarfs. Scientists believe these will help them understand how stars are formed. The developing stars are surrounded by a cloud of celestial dust, shown in pink, purple, and white through the telescope’s filters.

Visible primarily in infrared light due to the thick dust and gas clouds in the region, IC 348 fascinates both amateur astronomers and professionals. They all hope this star cluster will help them unravel the mysteries of stellar and planetary evolution.
