The top of the front page has a five column headline: "U.S. ORBITS WEATHER SATELLITE; IT TELEVISES EARTH AND CLOUDS; NEW ERA IN METEOROLOGY SEEN" with subheads and a few related photos. (see) This was the very 1st successful weather satellite put in orbit. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
