IYA2009 Philatelic Release Calendar
This calendar is being maintained by the American Topical Association's Astronomy Study Unit. It is supplied in support of the IYA2009 and is hoped to function as a means of drawing attention to, and generating interest in, both astronomy and philately. As well as, the long historical association that the two fields of have shared. The hobby of philately has proven to be an excellent tool to initiate and educate enthusiasts, young and old alike.
This year promises to have a number of astronomy related items released. Especially so since the annual PostEurop EUROPA series (with its 40+ member agencies) has selected "Astronomy" as its theme.
If you have or know of items which could be featured on this calendar, please submit your info (and images if possible) to either of the below:
