Landsat is the NASA/USGS Earth-observation program that has photographed the planet's land surface continuously since 1972. Each satellite revisits every point on Earth every 16 days, at about 30 metres per pixel — the imagery that makes up every letter on this site.

Yes. Every letter and digit is an actual Landsat scene — a river delta, a lake, a dune field, a glacier — whose shape happens to look like a character. 117 images cover the 26 letters and 10 digits. Each tile is captioned with its place and coordinates.

Any name of 2 to 12 characters using letters, digits, spaces or hyphens — accents are folded (Zoë becomes Zoe, José becomes Jose). Compound names like Jean-Pierre or Mary Jane keep their word break on the print.

We compose the print file from the original imagery for each order, then print on demand — matte poster, ceramic mug or Bella+Canvas tee — and ship worldwide. Shipping is quoted for your address before payment; payment is handled by Stripe.

No. I Love Landsat is an independent project by the studio iLove Productions. Landsat imagery is in the public domain (courtesy NASA/USGS) and we credit it on every page; the site is not endorsed by NASA or USGS.

Yes — every composition has its own link (the name and the letter selection are in the URL) with a preview image for social networks. Use “Copy link” under the light table.
