    Welcome to Galaxy Zoo, mazcom!

    Yes, it's an #artifact, a #satellitetrail (though it may be an airplane or meteor). They're quite common, and the zookeepers (the astronomers on the Science Team) are working hard to find a way to automatically remove these from the database, so they won't be offered for classification.

    Happy hunting! 😃
