Ryle and Hewish stamps
Martin Ryle and Antony Hewish featured in stamps commemorating Nobel-winning astrophysicists, issued in 1987 by Sweden, the country that bestows Nobel Prizes.
Ryle’s stamp shows the radio galaxy Centaurus A with a stylized representation of radio telescopes receiving radio waves from it. Hewish’s stamp shows the Crab Nebula, which contains a famous pulsar, overlain with the repeating trace of a radio pulse. Original designs by Gábor Palotai.
