Apollo 11 Usps

In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the landing of Apollo 11 Moon, the USPS publishes a pair of stamps with lunar images.

One of the stamps features a photo of Apollo 11's astronaut Buzz Aldrin in his spacesuit on the surface of the moon. The picture was taken by astronaut Neil Armstrong. The other stamp, a photograph of the moon taken in 2010 by Gregory H. Revera of Huntsville, AL, shows the landing site of the lunar module in the sea of ​​tranquility. The site is indicated on the stamp by a point.

They blend well with the Apollo 11 commemorative coins of the American Mint.
