Hey space enthusiasts! 🌌 The United Nations just made a giant leap for stamp collectors everywhere. On Friday, the UN Postal Administration released six brand-new postage stamps and three souvenir sheets to celebrate International Moon Day on July 20. And guess what? They feature amazing images from lunar missions around the world—including China's Chang'e project! 🌙✨
The collection showcases snapshots from China's Chang'e-4 and Chang'e-5 missions, alongside lunar explorations from the United States, South Korea, and India. It's like a global tour of the Moon right in your stamp album! 📮🌍
Aarti Holla-Maini, the director of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs in Vienna, highlighted the rising international excitement about lunar exploration. She believes these stamps will not only look cool on your letters but also spark conversations about the future of space missions. Talk about mail with a mission! 🚀💌
Ready to get your hands on these celestial collectibles? They're available at the UN headquarters in New York, Geneva, and Vienna, or you can snag them online on the UN website. Time to make your snail mail out of this world! 🐌✉️
Did you know? Back in 2021, the UN General Assembly declared July 20 as International Moon Day to honor the first human landing on the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission. So, these stamps are the perfect way to celebrate our lunar milestones! 🌝🎉
Whether you're a stamp collector, a space nerd, or just love cool stories from around the globe, these UN stamps are a stellar way to connect with the cosmos. Happy International Moon Day! 🌕🌟
