![For half a century, the Landsat mission has shown us Earth from space. Now, come along with us on a ‘roadtrip’ through the decades to see how the technology on this NASA and U.S. Geological Survey partnership has evolved with the times to provide an unbroken data record.

![Lyrics:[Verse 1]
There once was a star in a galaxy
It was named the Sun and thankfully
It weaves a solar tapestry
Sends particles high and low
[Chorus]
Soon may the solar wind come
To bring us plasma and magnetism
Filled with hydrogen and helium
And the solar wind will blow
[Verse 2]
The solar wind charts a course
Pulling lines of magnetic force
Flowing outwards from the source
Throws particles to and fro
Hyuh!
[Chorus]
Soon may the solar wind come
To bring us plasma and magnetism
Filled with hydrogen and helium
And the solar wind will blow
[Verse 3]
The Earth spun with its iron core
While the solar wind knocks at the door
Magnetosphere screams “no more!”
Until it must let go
[Verse 4]
Once a magnetic line is freed
Buckling under the wind’s stampede
It whips back with tremendous speed
Sends particles to the poles
[Chorus]
Soon may the solar wind come
To bring us plasma and magnetism
Filled with hydrogen and helium
And the solar wind will blow
[Verse 5]
The particles speed back here
And ricochet through the atmosphere
Exciting oxygen and nitrogen there
Making those particles glow
[Verse 6]
On and on the cycle spins
Sun and Earth are celestial kin
Dancing through the solar wind
Connected by its flow
[Chorus]
Soon may the solar wind come
To bring us plasma and magnetism
Filled with hydrogen and helium
And the solar wind will blow
[Chorus]
Soon may the solar wind come
To bring us plasma and magnetism
Filled with hydrogen and helium
And the solar wind will blow](/vis/a010000/a013800/a013853/TheSolarWind_Facebook.00300_print.jpg)
