It's almost Earth Day. Let’s celebrate our home planet from a unique viewpoint – space!
Use our “Your Name in @NASA_Landsat” app to spell out your name (or a pet, family member, or significant other’s name) with Earth features seen by satellite: go.nasa.gov/4jETaMq
ALT “Earth Day” is spelled out by satellite views of Earth features in the middle of the image. The “letters” are colorful, represented by views of water and land in shades of blue, brown, green, and even red. Underneath are the words “Earth Day” and “Celebrate Earth from space with NASA.” The “day” is written in a vibrant blue, while the rest of the words are white. The background of the poster is black. “National Aeronautics and Space Administration” is written at top left, “nasa.gov” is written at bottom left, and the NASA “meatball” logo appears at top right in black and white.
