Other than just assuming it's FTL, you could use that shot where the coaster is next to the Earth and calculate the distance it moved.

I think I'll use the radius or circumference of the Earth as the distance because I don't know how to calculate it

I think it works.

Hey, do you know how to use Angular Size to calculate how far the Earth is? A calc member suggested it to me but idk how to that. To be honest, math is really my worst subject.

It's actually pretty simple. The formula is: Distance from point of view to object = object size*panel height in pixels/[object height in pixels*2*tan(70deg/2)]. If you'd like me to help you, I could, but you only need to pixel scale two things: the Earth and the size of the photo.

Yeah, I don't know of any app on my phone to measure pixels either, so I'd be very happy if you could help.
