The asteroid is still 27 million miles away from Earth, and won’t get here for another hundred years at least.

Something does not quite add up because at that distance over that time velocity calculates to around 30 mph. I'm pretty sure asteroids travel at least 55 PG to conserve gas. /S

That’s pretty pokey for an interstellar object of this nature, if I recall correctly.

It's been doing 30 MPH for the last 4 million miles. In the left lane. With its turn signal on.
