NASA / Your Name In Landsat
NASA just launched a new website, Your Name In Landsat, and users are immediately obsessed. Using NASA‘s satellite imagery of land formations across the globe, the website spells out names using images of natural formations.
NASA’s ‘Your Name In Landsat‘ website has immediately taken off and gone viral across social media.
Spell Your Name Using ‘Your Name In Landsat’ From NASA
It makes perfect sense that people would immediately be obsessed with this new website. Humans have been obsessed with calligraphy, handwriting, and design for as long as we’ve had writing implements and the skills to put ink to paper. This is a whole new take on the idea though as it is using our tax dollar-funded NASA satellite imagery to match up real-life locations with letters of the alphabet.
As the images come from NASA satellites owned and operated by the U.S. Government, if you are an American citizen then they are yours to use for free.
I messed around with the tool, spelling my name ‘Cass’ and ‘BroBible.’ For my first name (Cass), the Your Name In Landsat pulled NASA satellite images from (1) False River, Louisiana, (2) Hickman, Kentucky, (3) N’Djamena, Chad, and (4) Rio Chapere, Bolivia.
Of course, it didn’t take long for people on social media to start spelling out things like ‘Brainrot’ and crude phrases. It remains unclear if NASA will restrict what can and cannot be spelled out at some point.
