With the help of NASA, US postal service made history after a stamp was send to Pluto which they placed on New Horizons spacecraft of the American space agency. The stamp travelled a mind-blowing 5,250,843,896 km becoming the stamp to travel longest distance ever in history.

After the arrival of spacecraft at Pluto on 14 July 2015, the stamp earned a Guinness World records title for the farthest distance travelled by a postage stamp.  New Horizons spacecraft was launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida, USA, on 19 January 2006.

• The achievement was confirmed by official Guinness World Records adjudicator Jimmy Coggins at an event .. He told guests that the stamp had covered the distance of about 131 times the circumference of the Earth.

• The record-breaking stamp that travelled on the rocket was from a special series created in 1991 which showed each of the nine planets in our Solar System and the vessels that had explored them.

• This record will extend another 1 billion miles, as NASA recently announced the New Horizons mission will journey beyond Pluto to visit a Kuiper Belt object known as 2014 MU69 — considered to be one of the early building blocks of the solar system.

• In 2006, NASA placed a 29-cent “Pluto: Not Yet Explored” stamp on board the New Horizons spacecraft on its way to Pluto and beyond,” said U.S. Postal Service Chief Marketing and Sales Officer and Executive Vice President Jim Cochrane. “That historic flyby with Pluto took place last summer — July 14, 2015, to be precise — after New Horizons travelled more than three billion miles in its nine and a half year journey.”
