That was certainly an ISS feed, a photo taken by an onboard camera. And that answered your charge. Get over it.
You clearly did not understand my analysis of seeing an aircraft from 250 miles away. They showed that one because they had a very good high res camera. ...[text shortened]... 00 parts and good luck seeing a plane 250 miles away with anything but a good amateur telescope.
Both of the terms "watch" and "feed" infer a constant action, not a singular event, i.e., the
feed from NASA which they define as 'live' and 'issuing from ISS at 225 miles above the earth' requires motion, thus the counting.

It is not a feed, but a single solitary image.

Wasn’t out of my depth, thanks.
If by 'ISS feed' you mean the tv cameras, they have nothing like the resolution needed to actually see aircraft 240 miles away.
Sure they do.
The night images they show routinely include lightning flashes, cityscapes and the like.
There should be streaks of lights passing over the various areas of earth, but we never see any.
You didn't even READ my analysis of seeing a jet 250 miles away ON EARTH did you. Because of your poor education your eyes just glazed over having to read arithmetic.
I don’t read more than half of the things you write, typically, because you go off on tangents unrelated to the topic put to you and I’m not going to waste my time reading something that is inapplicable.
You haven't a clue when it comes to optics and even what an arc second is.
You have nothing to base this on, and, in fact, what I have provided up to this point indicates that I at least understand some principles of optics related to density, changes in medium, etc..
You really need some remidial education, perhaps a night school if they let you out of your room in the old folks home.
And perhaps you need some
remedial spelling lessons?
Your insults once again backfire.
Perhaps now is a good time to set them aside and remain focused on the topic.
You’re a few decades in front of me, age-wise, and you didn’t cotton to others focusing on your age; not your best stuff.
So looking at that plane from 250 miles away with 13 arc second res means chopping a circle into about 100,000 parts and good luck seeing a plane 250 miles away with anything but a good amateur telescope.
And good luck to those people on earth who claim to be able to see ISS with their naked eye, right?
