Satellites certainly existed 80 years ago -- the Moon, for one, and lots
more around Jupiter:

But I guess we're talking about artificial weather satellites!

P.S. I checked the Adair Village sewage ponds today to see if
frigatebirds or any other exotica got swept in on this latest
"atmospheric river." I found basically the same collection of TEAL,
SCAUP, BUFFLEHEADS, and RUDDY DUCKS as were present all through January.
The numbers of Ruddy Ducks at this site (20+) continue to be noteworthy
for northern Benton County. Also interesting is that the males of both
Ruddies and Buffleheads are starting to come into breeding plumage.
