Back then when Gilbert was around only primitive cauclulations were used to to figure out how the satellite would move, therefore they were polar orbiting and were only in one spot for a given time. It just may happen that Gilbert formed and lived when the satellite was in the correct position to see it, and the next hurricane that formed the satellite wasn't in the correct position. There is some mathematics behind this...but then again I'm not a rocket scientist |
