有史以來最複雜的天文台現在將穿越美國郵政系統 

華盛頓2022年9月8日 /美通社/ -- 隨著這款充滿活力的郵票發行,美國郵政署慶祝美國國家航空暨太空總署 (NASA) 的詹士韋伯太空望遠鏡 (James Webb Space Telescope) 繼續其史詩般的使命,以前所未有的方式揭示宇宙。郵票的發佈儀式今天在國家郵政博物館舉行。

擔任專職官員的美國郵政署理事會副主席 Anton Hajjar 表示:「詹士‧韋伯太空望遠繞太陽運行,距離我們的星球大約一百萬英里。隨著這款新的 Forever(永久)郵票推出,現在它將在美國郵政系統中穿梭。韋伯望遠鏡正在發送真正令人震驚的圖像,我相信您會同意! 我們在這枚郵票中慶祝的望遠鏡,本身就是一個工程奇蹟,數十年的製造。」

與 Hajjar 一同出席儀式的嘉賓包括 NASA 副局長兼前宇航員 Robert D. Cabana、史密森尼學會科學及研究副部長 Ellen R. Stofan、NASA 戈達德太空飛行中心韋伯望遠鏡光學望遠鏡元件經理 Lee Feinberg、NASA 戈達德韋伯望遠鏡副天文台項目科學家 Erin Smith 和國家郵政博物館館長 Elliot Gruber。

Cabana 表示:「當任何使用這些郵票的人看到這個望遠鏡時,我希望他們看到我所看到的,即它揭示嶄新和意想不到發現的不可思議潛力,幫助我們了解宇宙的起源,以及我們在其中的位置。這個望遠鏡是美國歷史上最大的國際太空科學計劃,我急不及待想看到它將在天文學方面帶來的科學突破。」

郵票消息以主題標籤 #WebbTelescopeStamp 在社交媒體上分享。郵政署的 Facebook 專頁追隨者可以在以下位置查看郵票的故事:facebook.com/usps。

一板 20 張郵票將作為 Forever 郵票發行,這表示它的價值將始終與目前的 First-Class Mail 1 安士價格相同。

背景

美國國家航空暨太空總署 (NASA) 的詹士韋伯太空望遠鏡於 2021 年 12 月 25 日發射,是迄今在太空部署的最大、最複雜望遠鏡,能夠研究每個階段的宇宙歷史。此望遠鏡旨在提供奇妙的圖像和前所未有的科學數據。它能夠窺視已知宇宙的極限,可以見證早期的宇宙。望遠鏡帶來的發現擴大了我們對太空的理解,激起人們對存在肅然起敬。

除了提供有關宇宙遠處的圖像和數據外,望遠鏡還提供有關太陽系的新資訊,以及越來越多的已知系外行星的詳情。這些行星在我們的母星系銀河系中圍繞其他恆星運行。科學家利用光譜學,即分析來自這些世界的波長,幫助確定具有有利條件的行星,以支援我們所知的生命。

此望遠鏡代表一項多國的努力和投資,利用 NASA、歐洲太空總署和加拿大太空局的人才和資源。此望遠鏡是從位於法屬圭亞那庫魯的歐洲太空中心發射,該中心是歐洲太空總署的發射設施。在這個接近赤道的位置,地球自轉的動量有力推動攜帶望遠鏡的歐洲亞利安 5 號運載火箭發射。

從火箭中釋放出來的望遠鏡隨後展開,它前往距離地球約 100 萬英里的特殊位置。這個靈敏的望遠鏡由一個採用高科技材料製成的五層防護罩保護,以免受熱和光影響,展開後的尺寸大約有一個網球場般大。如此定位,望遠鏡在極冷的環境中運行,溫度低於 50 開爾文(華氏零下 370 度)。異常寒冷至關重要,因望遠鏡必須能感知來自天體的微弱熱量和光線,而其中一些天體距離數十億光年。望遠鏡高度拋光的金色鏡非常適合這種環境。

在發射前,來自世界各地的科學界成員制定了計劃和科學目標,供望遠鏡調查。望遠鏡本身的大部分,包括美麗的金色鏡,都是在美國的各種設施中組裝、拋光和測試。在運往南美的發射設施前,這個複雜的過程需要組件在全國各地之間穿梭。美國、加拿大和歐洲合作夥伴提供科學和指導工具。NASA 管理望遠鏡的整體發展。

科學家對韋伯寄予厚望,包括回答一些古老的問題,毫無疑問,還有一系列新的宇宙奧秘。

郵票藝術品

郵票上的圖像是一位藝術家以數碼方式創作,描繪望遠鏡對著耀眼的星空。它的 18 個鍍金鏡面,即六邊形組合成 21 呎闊的主鏡,可以捕捉到微弱的熱波,代表宇宙從數十億光年以外的第一個可接近的星光。對面是由三個支柱支撐的次鏡。下面是望遠鏡的太陽罩、電腦、控制機械和提供電力的太陽能電池板。

「Webb Space Telescope」字樣在郵票的底部邊緣以白色顯示。「USA/FOREVER」從左邊緣垂直向上延伸。在鑲邊的頂部,「James Webb Space Telescope」以金色印在黑暗的空間中,在標題的最後兩個詞之間的間隙中印有一顆星星的圖像。在背景中飾有其他恆星和星系。拍攝這張照片是為了確認望遠鏡反射鏡的完美對齊。

藝術總監 Derry Noyes 是郵票項目的設計師,該項目使用 James Vaughan 的現有藝術作品以及 NASA 和太空望遠鏡科學研究所提供的圖像。

郵政產品 

顧客可以透過以下方法購買郵票和其他集郵產品:郵政商店 - usps.com/shopstamps;致電 844-737-7826;經 USA Philatelic 郵寄或在全國各地的郵局選購。

郵政署通常不收取營運費用的稅款,並依靠郵資、產品和服務的銷售來為其營運提供資金。
