英文原文:Explanation: It may look like these comets are racing, but they are not. Comets C/2025 K1 ATLAS (left) and C/2025 R2 SWAN (right) appeared near each other by chance last week in the featured image taken from France's Reunion Island in the southern Indian Ocean . Fainter Comet ATLAS is approaching our Sun and will reach its closest approach in early October when it is also expected to be its brightest -- although still only likely visible with long exposures on a camera. The brighter comet, nicknamed SWAN25B , is now headed away from our Sun , although its closest approach to Earth is expected in mid-October, when optimistic estimates have it becoming bright enough to see with the unaided eye. Each comet has a greenish coma of expelled gas and an ion tail pointing away from the Sun. Growing Gallery: Comet SWAN25B 说明: 这些彗星看起来像是在赛跑,但实际上并非如此。 彗星C/2025 K1 ATLAS[3](左)和C/2025 R2 SWAN[4](右)上周偶然出现在一起,这张精选图像[5]拍摄自在南印度洋[6]法属留尼旺[7]岛[8]。 较暗的ATLAS彗星[9]正接近太阳,并将在十月初达到最近距离,届时预计也将是其最明亮的时候-尽管仍然只有[10]使用相机长时间曝光才能看到。 暱称为 SWAN25B[11] 的较亮彗星现在正远离太阳[12],但预计其最接近地球的时间在十月中旬,乐观估计[13]届时它将变得足够亮,可用肉眼看到。 每颗彗星[14]都有一个由喷出的气体组成的绿色彗发[15],并有一条背向太阳的离子尾[16]。
