      Is that a real image?

        It’s a real screenshot from 2004’s banger The Day After Tomorrow.

        Hate how people are downvoting this guy just for asking a question, like what is this, reddit?

          I wouldn’t worry about it. There’s a very sad person who tries to downvote all of my posts on a regular basis.

            I call that the validation downvote. Just means the federation is still working.

          I think they’re downvoting the Squid, not the content of the post. I imagine a poster like Flying Squid has made some enemies along the way, the kind of people who literally go and downvote all their posts.

          I’ll take what I said on Reddit and bring it here: Don’t comment on downvotes, they don’t matter.

        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

          I’ve seen ISS photos that have bits of the ISS in the shot. 🤷‍♂️

          But also, I did some searching and no, that is not Hurricane Milton.

            Oh yeah there’s shots like that. But like, in general. I don’t know just made me think of the day after tomorrow and yes it’s was that.

            I googled "the day after tomorrow storm " and it was one of the first image https://www.syfy.com/sites/syfy/files/styles/scale_862/public/2022/12/storm.jpg

            So must’ve been in my subconscious or smth

          Absolutely hilarious in the most unintentional way.
