On August 26, 2024, the Belgian Post Office will launch 10 round stamps and a sheet of 10 stamps dedicated to the infinite "Universe". Artist and designer of the publication is Geert Wille.

Eight of the circular stamps depict the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
The ninth mark depicts the planets around the star TRAPPIST-1, located about 40 light-years from Earth. What is special about the TRAPPIST-1 system is that all 7 planets orbiting the star are located in the so-called habitable zone, which is an extremely rare phenomenon.

The tenth stamp depicts the great James Webb telescope whose contribution confirmed the existence of the planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system.

Of course, we cannot miss the extremely beautiful sheet with 10 postage stamps, which has the shape of a large postage stamp. It complements the images of the small round stamps in an outstanding way.
