Here is this amazing satellite and they insist on presenting a
false orientation of the planet that does not and never will
exist.
They must show what the camera saw. What else could they do?

The image is a distorted view of the Earth around the Equinox to
satisfy their awful notion that the planet's divisor pivots annually
off the Earth's Equator hence the warped view of our planet with a
zero degree inclination instead of its actual inclination to the
orbital plane -

You are beyond help. It is an image of what their camera sees!
Nothing more and nothing less.
The satellite shows the image of the Earth as seen from its orbit as the Earth spins underneath its orbital plane. The only thing that they are
doing is choosing to photograph the sun facing side of our planet to maximise the amount of natural planetary features that you can see.
On the September Equinox, the Earth looks like this-

The Earth always remains in the centre of the orbital plane so creates an ecliptic Equator at right angles to the planet's divisor so you are clearly out of your depth when describing "Earth spins underneath its orbital plane" at the level of Copernicus
and Galileo-
"The third movement is the declination movement. For the axis of daily rotation is not parallel to the axis of the great circle but is inclined to it by such a part of the circumference, which in our time is almost 23 and a half degrees. Thus the centre
of the Earth always remains in the plane of the ecliptic, i.e. on the circumference of a great circle, and its poles revolve, drawing small circles on both sides around the centres equidistant from the axis of the great circle. This movement, too, takes
place over a period of almost a year and is almost equal to the revolution of the great wheel" Copernicus, Commentariolus.
I changed the perspective of the axial orientation to the orbital plane rather than the axis defined by the orientation of the divisor (axis of the great circle).
The relationship of the axial orientation of the Earth to the Sun's rotational equator has to change over the course of an orbit as the North Pole crosses the light hemisphere of the Earth over the six months from March to September hence its true
orientation looks like this on the June Solstice-

Once again, on the September Equinox, as the North Pole rotated 90 degrees from its position midway across the light hemisphere to lie on the planet's divisor, it looks like this-

Not like this-

There should be no difficulty adjusting imaging to coincide with the description of Copernicus that the North/South Poles maintain a constant position equidistant to the axis of the planet's divisor instead of distorting the imaging to show a zero-degree
inclination on the Equinoxes.
It is really only for solar system researchers rather than mathematical theorists and their RA/Dec contrivance. The idea is to give researchers, even those who were originally opposed to new perspectives, a more challenging opportunity to work with
observations up close and personal instead of the usual wide sweeping gestures about the structure of the Universe with all its voodoo and bluffing.
