> it's about a million miles from Earth, generally the farthest satellites away from Earth are at about 40,000km altitude in geostationary orbit, which would put them maybe 4% closer to the spacecraft than Earth No, that puts satellites in geostationary orbit 2.5% as close to Earth as the satellite that took this picture (in other words, it is 40 times as far away from Earth).
