The front of the card shows a picture of Jupiter taken from the Hubble telescope (ESA). The dark smudge at bottom right is debris from a comet or asteroid that plunged into Jupiter's atmosphere and disintegrated. In addition to the fresh impact, the image reveals a spectacular variety of shapes in the swirling atmosphere of Jupiter. The stamps were issued in 2007 by AnPost as part of the series dedicated to the "Planets". The stamps are special elongated stamps and are based on photographic images of Jupiter and Neptune. The other two stamps of the same series show Saturn and Uranus.
