"Landsat has seen it all, from rivers and oxbow lakes to crop-field patchworks and mineral sediments, documenting the Earth's surface since 1972."
"The 'Your Name in Landsat' tool allows users to type in a name and receive vertical snapshots of a wide range of terrain, showcasing Earth's diversity."
"Users can hover over individual images to learn exact locations and coordinates, with all of Landsat's data being publicly accessible."
Landsat, a collaboration between NASA and USGS, has been documenting Earth's surface since 1972, creating the longest continuous record of landscape changes. To celebrate Earth Day 2026, a name generator was launched, allowing users to input names and receive vertical snapshots of diverse terrains. The tool showcases enhanced images that reveal the planet's surface features. Users can explore individual images, learn their coordinates, and access all program data publicly. Landsat also offers time-lapse views of land use changes over decades.
