In today's image, we see an image showing star trails. Toward the left we see the locations of the North Celestial Pole with the relatively bright star Polaris just a bit above it. Polaris is currently near to the pole, but not exactly at it. To the right, we see the trail of Comet ZTF. We note that it has a different path because of its location in the solar system and actually cuts across some of the star trails.
