A project searching for intelligent life in the cosmos is going to check
the first known interstellar asteroid for signs of alien technology.

The odd-shaped object was detected as it sped towards the Sun on 19 October.

Its properties suggested it originated around another star, making it the
first such body to be spotted in our cosmic neighbourhood.

An initiative backed by billionaire Yuri Milner will use a radio telescope
to listen for signals from it.

The team's efforts will begin on Wednesday, with astronomers observing the
asteroid, which is currently speeding away from our Solar System, across
four different radio frequency bands.

The first set of observations at the Robert C Byrd Green Bank Telescope in
West Virginia is due to last for 10 hours.

Previous observations of the object, called 'Oumuamua, have noted its
strange, elongated shape, making it look a bit like a cigar.
