In October, an oddly-shaped asteroid that came from interstellar space shot through our solar system.*
On Wednesday, scientists will point a large radio telescope toward it as it continues to hurtle through space millions of miles away. Why? It's all in the name of searching for alien life.*
Researchers working with the alien-hunting Breakthrough Listen project, backed by Russian billionaire Yuri Milner, plan to use the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope to try to see if the asteroid, named ‘Oumuamua, is more than just a very cool space rock.*
