# Satellite-Generated Name Visuals Your Name in Landsat Uses Earth Imagery to Form Custom Text By Amy Duong | Published 2026-04-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-name-in-landsat References: [community.designtaxi](https://community.designtaxi.com/topic/27399-nasa-lets-you-spell-out-your-name-in-earth-photos-captured-from-space/)  Your Name in Landsat is an interactive tool developed by [NASA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nasas-latest-initiative) that allows users to generate [custom words using satellite images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/landscape-design) of Earth. The platform pulls from decades of Landsat data, mapping each letter to a landscape that visually resembles its shape, including rivers, coastlines, farmland, and urban patterns. Users can input any word, which is then assembled into a sequence of satellite images that collectively form the text. Each letter links to a specific geographic location, with coordinates and source data accessible through the interface. The imagery is drawn from a continuous Earth observation archive that spans over 50 years, combining datasets from NASA and the [U.S. Geological Survey](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unstoppable-fun). The tool was released as part of an Earth Day initiative.
