!!These stamps provide examples of:
* ArtisticLicenceAstronomy:
** The red background is highly unusual, and the presence of planets indicate that this is not a planetary sky. Possibly a nebula, but the presence of planets with atmosphere would indicate against that.
** The central white star [[FullMoonSilhouette which provides the background for the humans]] in one of the stamps, has an unusual corona.
* ConvenientlyClosePlanet: There's nearly a dozen stellar objects, ranging from maybe rocky planets to gas giants, to a central star, all within the [[IdiosyncraticCoverArt single pane of five stamps]].
* FullMoonSilhouette: The central stamp has two humans flying across a blue-white star in the background.
* IdiosyncraticCoverArt: The five stamps that make up each of the four pages of this booklet are a single piece of art, designed to have a different central image in each of the five stamps.
* InSpaceEveryoneCanSeeYourFace: The central stamp has two humanoids in metallic-silver spacesuits, wearing bubble helmets that give them the appearance of [[RetroRocket snub-nosed rocketships]].
* MileLongShip: The ship in the lower background of the centre and centre-right stamps is the largest ship on the entire [[IdiosyncraticCoverArt pane of stamps]]. The red spaceships give a general idea for how large it is.
* RetroRocket:
** The stamp on the left has three dart-like silver ships, with excessive fins and one or more thrusters.
** The humans in the centre stamp are wearing jetpacks and a snub-nosed [[InSpaceEveryoneCanSeeYourFace bubble helmet]] that makes them look like their suit is designed or rocteing around in the atmosphere.
** The stamp on the right has three red rockets with an oblong shape and three fins. A line of these ships appears, growing smaller and smaller, in each stamp to the left of this one, ending in the centre.
