Each stamp illustrates a blue tractor against a yellow and orange background, with "Good evening, we are from Ukraine!" printed above in English. The text "Доброго вечора, ми з України!" is written beneath in Ukrainian, along with additional postal markings and a date, 05.07.2022.

@smithsonian Amb. Dr. Kurin applauded the work of his Ukrainian cultural sector counterparts: “They are also doing a tremendous service to their country and ability to live free and be Ukrainian.” After the war, this same community will have the responsibility of rebuilding.

It's clear that air pollution is bad for our health. But it's not always clear where air pollution comes from. Led by scientists at our @CenterforAstro, the @TEMPO_Mission tracks air pollution in near-real time to help us understand it and develop sustainable solutions.
It's official! We're on and working. Check out our first light images, which give a preview of our ability to track nitrogen dioxide on an hourly basis in geographic areas as small as four square miles! #AirQuality
