New Observation with Infrared-Light Finds 7 Potential Alien Megastructures called Dyson Spheres

New Observation with Infrared-Light Finds 7 Potential Alien Megastructures called Dyson Spheres. Join Territory to get access to perks:

A team of scientists from Sweden, India, the UK, and the USA has led to the development of a method for detecting technosignatures associated with Dyson Spheres.

This initiative named Project Hephaistos, after the Greek god of fire and metallurgy, aims to identify potential Dyson Sphere constructions by advanced civilizations.

In their study, the scientists detail a thorough investigation into partial Dyson spheres using data from GAIA, 2MASS, and WISE, which are extensive astronomical surveys serving various purposes.

The analysis involved a vast amount of data from individual stars, with approximately 5 million sources examined in this particular paper to construct a catalog of potential Dyson spheres.

But sorting through such a vast amount of data is a daunting task, and so the research team devised a specialized data pipeline for this purpose, capable of processing the combined data from the surveys.

Their objective is to identify partially-constructed spheres, which would emit additional infrared radiation.

However, identifying these structures is challenging, as various natural objects also emit excess infrared radiation, such as circumstellar dust rings, nebulae, and background galaxies.

And so they designed the pipeline in such a way that it can separate potential Dyson sphere candidates from natural sources by filtering out sources with unusual amounts of infrared radiation that can't be explained by known natural sources.

They're probably not in the "banning drinking straws" phase of development...

Love all the Dyson Sphere experts in the comment section lol

[samsung-ehdv]

All of a sudden everyone is a Dyson sphere expert.

[kcrobinson]

Maybe Dyson spheres are a civilisation's big Pyamid moment

Just because some people on a tiny planet think dyson spheres exist does not mean the Universe agrees. Another prime example of human hubris. Humbris.

People are going to have such a hard time swallowing this.. but I guess time is up😅

[Bluetangg]

We always hope for others out in space. This is more about human imagination than reality.

Has anyone behind these ideas thought only for one second, How many planets (matter) do you need to build such a structure?. Remember that an average star is as big as thousands of Jupiters. And that many planets are not made of matter. You would need thousand of solar systems in planets to get the required matter for the purpose. I mean, the porpuse of surrounding a star like this.

I don’t want to get old and die. Where do we come from. 😢

[hellgeist_]

And just like that, the Dark Forest theory was discarded.

[bradpitts]

Not really it could just mean that they where quicker at catching on and then evolving then we were or are...and a massively populated planet, they just utilized their population instead of destroying it.

Why did michio age 90 years in the last 4 😮

[kybconvo]

They already know if there is life and where it is. Between the declassification of alien encounters and discoveries like this, I believe they are slow feeding us information as they see fit.

[wayneblake]

It sounds interesting but probably not Dyson Spheres but you never know.

[bcelik]

How logical is it to build megastructures that can be seen from many light years away which pinpoints your location to everyone?

Those aliens got some balls bro.

[Brooms-Dc]

Yo, is it just me or it looks like a biblcal angel. ☦

When you really grasp the size and mass of a star like ours ( one million earths can fit inside the sun ) or 99.8 % of the mass of our solar system. Just imagine the amount of material needed to make a single dyson sphere. That civilization probably needed to destroy thousands of planets. We could be next

[hymugglee]

At the same time we're using a particle accelerater to eventually harness the sun here on our planet🤷

[gerrytinder]

To survive to achieve this level of development, they would had to have never produced artificial intelligence...unless the AI made them - after eliminating their inventors.

It´s a human dream to find "brothers in space"... but it will never come true...
No, I think the title of the brilliant album by Dire Straits is much more realistic here...
“brothers in arms” ...
