Sunday Stamps - Large Animals: Malawi, UAE

 Malawi had stamps for each of the Big Five. The one I like best I've shown before.

Leopard - 11 March 2011

I found another leopard on an Ajmad stamp from the UAE.

Ajmad - UAE: 1 July 1972

I must admit that this looks more like a pussycat to me.

Space Exploration - Sunday Stamps II

I guess everyone remembers that first landing on the moon in July 1969.

In the United Arab Emirates, Ras Al Khaima issued a set of stamps  commemorating International Cooperation in Space on 10 June, i.e, before that landing.

Others in the set covered the Apollo space program and Lunar Landing. These are two that I would love to get.

Continuing the moon landing theme Poland issued a stamp in 1971 commemorating Lunochod - 1

Poland - Lunochod-1

This was the first of two unmanned lunar rovers landed on the moon by the Soviet Union and on 17 November 1971 was the first to move freely on the surface .

A Hungarian stamp commemorated the 25th anniversary of Hungarian-Soviet scientific technical cooperation.

The Hubble Space Telescope has shown us some remarkable images of outer space.

A 2000 commemorative issue from the United States shows some of these.

Others in the set show the Ring Nebula, the Lagoon Nebula and the Galaxy NGC 1316.
