Sunday Stamps: the letter "H"

 Good day, and welcome to my blog. 

It is a warm sunny day in the American Midwest.  We really need some rain.

We are up to the letter "H" in the tour of the alphabet.  Here is a British stamp celebrating Edmund Halley:


Edmund Halley (1656 - 1742) was an English astronomer, mathematician and physicist.  He is remembered most, I suspect, for computing the orbit of a bright comet, and predicting its return.  This comet is known as Halley's comet now.  This illustration is a mash-up of Halley's face and the comet.  I am not sure it's successful.
