Features
- The US Postal Service created the first heat-sensitive stamp to commemorate the awe-inspiring total solar eclipse. The center of the design appears black at first, but when warmed, reveals the moon with the sun’s rays extending behind it. It is a fitting tribute to this uncommon event.
- A total solar eclipse is a phenomenon that occurs when the moon passes between Earth and the sun, completely blocking its light for several minutes. As the moon continues its orbit, different areas of the Earth experience totality (full coverage of the sun) at different times. Some may only see a partial eclipse while others may not see an eclipse at all.
- The Total Eclipse of the Sun stamp was issued as a Forever stamp. This Forever stamp will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce price.
