    Why would a satellite actually imaging storms want to place a satellite in the image as well?

    I think its from some movie, like “the Day after Tomorrow” or something.

    Because in movies you can have a shot of a satellite while showing a shot of the storm. I think that’s fairly harder to do in real life, seeing you’d have to have two satellites perfectly in sync (and they go pretty fast) or a satellite (space stations are satellites as well) with a very long selfie stick.

    Edit actually yah googled “the day after tomorrow storm” and this was one of the first images to pop up, the exact same image https://www.syfy.com/sites/syfy/files/styles/scale_862/public/2022/12/storm.jpg
