This is a ten minute exposure of a comet, specifically R3 PanSTARRS. Look at the utter mess Musk and his buddies are making of our night sky, and they're only getting started. There are currently around 10,000 Starlink satellites in space. Musk wants to increase that number to one million.

A long exposure of the night sky with housing and hills at the bottom of frame. There's a comet in the centre of the image but it's difficult to see as the entire sky has been vandalised by satellite trails.
