NASA's "Your Name in Landsat" generator uses real satellite imagery — river bends, mountain ridges, desert patterns — captured since 1972 by the Landsat Program to spell out any name. Each letter is a genuine landscape photographed from space. No sign-up needed, and it's free — five decades of Earth science made accessible.
