"Placing your finger over the black disc on the stamp causes the ink to change from black to clear to reveal an underlying image of the moon. The image reverts back to the black disc once it cools," he said. Photo: Miami Customer Relations Coordinator Mirtha Uriarte

During the eclipse countdown in the museum's moon lab, this postal trio reflected on theme-related songs and voted that Corey Hart's "Sunglasses at Night" was the most appropriate tune for the occasion.
