When the Telstar telecommunications satellite was launched in 1962, postal services around the world commemorated the technological breakthrough in communications with special stamps—presumably unaware that a global communications network would replace traditional mail in our daily lives.
I have collected these commemorative stamps, arranging them into constellations that mimic the solar system on particular dates between 1962 and today. Circular cutouts in a nanotube-black surface allow them to hover like planets in the darkness.
