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?

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

Hello All
Satellite or a shooting star
I'd say a shooting star.

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.
