What does your name look like from space? NASA has launched a free interactive tool that searches 50 years of Landsat satellite imagery that can spell your name using river bends, desert formations, mountain ridges, and coastlines captured from 438 miles above Earth’s surface.
NASA’s Kennedy Space Center invites you to visit the “Your Name in Landsat” web portal, where you can instantly assemble your name from genuine landscape photographs taken by the Landsat constellation—America’s longest-running Earth observation satellite program.
With this online interactive, you can type your name in the search field and then view your name spelled out in the Earth features found in the Landsat satellite images. You can also export a graphic displaying your name in Landsat.
A joint venture between NASA and the US Geological Survey, the Landsat program has been observing Earth for more than 50 years, collecting breathtaking imagery and invaluable data used to study our planet’s changing surface. The Landsat satellite images are all available to download at no charge.
