Hello All

Smile,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,its one or the other.

I also thought it was a shooting star, but the movie's made of 49-second exposures of a relatively narrow field of view (?), and the streak appears in more than one frame; its actual speed across the sky seems too slow for a shooting star.

Hello All

Satellite or a shooting star

I'd say a shooting star.

yup I could see it in both the APOD and big versions. Very straight line. I'm with you on the satellite theory.

Looking closely at the first part of today's animated GIF, one sees a faint streak cross above the comet from right to left. Satellite?
