2013 Space
Geneva Office
The 2013 U.N. Space stamps celebrate the largest space event in the world, World Space Week, celebrated each year from October 4th to the 10th. World Space Week seeks to promote sustainable economic development and to excite, encourage and inspire, through international space education. This year’s stamps feature varied nebulae, enormous clouds of dust particles and gas in space.
The term “nebula” comes from the Latin word for cloud. The space clouds we identify as nebulae are often regions where stars are being formed or regions left by dead or dying stars. Nebula clouds can range vastly in shape and size.
The 1,00 Swiss franc souvenir sheet shows an open cluster of stars in the Serpens constellation which surround an area designated Messier 16, or the Eagle Nebula. Messier 16 is known for its regions of intense star forming activity known as the Pillars of Creation. New stars form within the pillars of interstellar dust and hydrogen gas.
