Description: This 26-penny commemorative postage stamp was issued by the Royal Mail as a key component of the Millennium Projects Series, specifically within the "Above and Beyond" collection. Designed to celebrate landmark cultural and scientific achievements across the United Kingdom, this issue spotlights the development of the National Space Centre in Leicester. The stunning image captures a rich, high-resolution astronomical photograph of the night sky, symbolizing human curiosity and space exploration. The right-hand margin features clean, vertically aligned white typography displaying the project's name, while a minimal white denomination numeral rests in the bottom corner opposite the classic Queen Elizabeth II cameo profile.
