Astronomers have identified seven star systems in our galaxy that could potentially host a Dyson sphere — a hypothetical megastructure an alien civilization could build around a star or black hole to ...

Dyson swarms—theoretical arrangements of satellites orbiting a star to harness its energy—may seem like they could be eternal once constructed, but they are still at the mercy of gravity. A new ...

Dyson spheres, the hypothetical mega-structures that advanced alien civilizations might use to enclose a star and harness its energy, suffer from a fatal flaw: They are catastrophically unstable. But ...

In the 1960s, physicist Freeman Dyson proposed that advanced alien civilizations could be building enormous megastructures around a star to harness its energy. Such a move would allow a civilization ...

The search for alien life takes many forms, from identifying Earth-like planets to scanning for extraterrestrial signals.
