New Zealand Stamp, 2019 New Zealand Space Pioneers 3D Lenticilar S/S

It is not surprising then that for most of New Zealand’s history, the lines between professional and amateur astronomers have been blurred. It is in this spirit that New Zealanders have helped to advance the world’s knowledge about space and space sciences.
