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. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

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.
