If you actually detect one, it may impact in two months, or 900 years. "Asteroid could hit Earth in 2880" news.bbc.co.uk I believe this particular asteroid was later found to not be a threat, and even the preliminary estimate was only a 1 in 300 chance of hitting the earth, but I post the link to point out how we can find the larger chunks long before they hit the earth. Most likely we won't have 900 years or warning but we could have enough time if we put in the effort to map the orbits of the dangerous sized chunks. The smaller ones that might hit like a nuclear explosion we might not have as much warning but they would also be easier to deflect. Tim
