Technically it is not Ceres because Ceres is a dwarf planet...not an asteroid. The largest asteroid now is Pallas discovered in 1802. It is 335 miles in diameter. Number 2 is Vesta discovered in 1807. 311 miles in diameter.

The size is not as important as the speed at which they travel. The impact is the velocity squared times the mass . A commit may be much more dangerous as they can be traveling 150,000 mph.
