In Early October, Earth Will Pass Through the Orbital Debris Stream of an Extremely Large Comet That Was Just DiscoveredSome text from link below:
There’s a new, fairly bright comet in the sky, discovered less than a week ago, on Friday, September 12, 2025.Scientists have just discovered another giant space rock that is rapidly heading in our direction. They think that it will fly past us at a distance of just 0.26 astronomical units, and if they are correct about that it won’t hit us. But we are being warned that Earth will pass through the orbital debris stream of this extremely large comet, and that could result in a significant meteor storm. This comet was first identified less than a week ago, and so any projections that have been made so far could change. It is officially being called “C/2025 R2 (SWAN)”, and it is already “bright enough to detect using binoculars”…At this moment, it is being projected that C/2025 R2 (SWAN) will come within just 0.26 AU of our planet in late October, but we will actually cross the comet’s orbital debris stream in early October…
Between October 18-21, 2025, Comet SWAN will be only 0.26 astronomical units AU from our planet. If it does not fall apart between now and then, it could become a beautiful target for photographers and backyard astronomers. Another date of interest is Oct. 4-6 when Earth may cross the comet’s debris stream. If so, we could have a meteor shower. Stay tuned for updates.https://discernreport.com/in-early-october-earth-will-pass-through-the-orbital-debris-stream-of-an-extremely-large-comet-that-was-just-discovered/Just for the record an "AU or astronomical unit, is a unit of length defined as the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, approximately 149.6 million kilometers (about 93 million miles). It is commonly used in astronomy to measure distances within the Solar System."
So, 0.26 * 93,000,000 is about 24,180,000 miles. Pretty close pass.
I think the reason we will pass through the comets orbital stream first is because the steam is pushed away from the sun, by solar radiation.
Or from Wikipedia:
"solar radiation causes the volatile materials within the comet to vaporize and stream out of the comet nucleus, carrying dust away with them. Blown by the solar wind, these materials typically form two separate tails that extend outwards from the comet's orbit: the dust tail, composed of comet dust, and the gas or ion tail, composed of ionized gases"
