Current near-earth comets.

C/2025 A6 Souce
Currently there are three significant comets or asteroids, if we include 3I/atlas, there will be four, but there are three notable comets of ours, from the solar system that are approaching the sun and by significant we mean those that have a nucleus of more than 1 km in diameter, non-significant there may be tens of a few hundred meters in diameter.

C/2025 A6 Souce
The other comet, and the one that seems to be the brightest, is Swan C/2025 A6 and they say it is going to be quite spectacular. It was discovered on September 11, 2025 and is also a long-period comet that comes from the Oort cloud, that is, it comes from very far from the outer part of the solar system. There is no data on its size, but it is believed that it will be between 1 and 10 km in diameter, I mean its nucleus. It will be millions of kilometers long, its closest approach to Earth will be on October 20, 2025. It will pass 38,900,000 km from us.

C/2025 K1 Souce
And the other comet is C/2025 K1 Atlas, it is the smallest, it is approximately 1 km in diameter, it was discovered in May 2025 by the Atlas system in Chile, that is why it is called Atlas, just like 3I/atlas, which was also discovered by this Atlas system. Its first approach to the Sun was on October 8, which is when it has its perihelion, its closest approach to the Sun, only 49,300,000 km from the Sun.
