This comet has been designated C/2025 F2 (SWAN) on CBET 5538.

A similar designation to C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) which was also discovered in spacecraft data, came out of nowhere and put on a good show in the summer of 2020. This will not be anywhere near as impressive (probably) but it should be a good binocular object.
