This is a really fascinating paper on a systematic search for #DysonSpheres using the large galaxy survey data thats available. The results are very interesting indeed. #Astronomy No it's not proof of advanced Alien civilisations. But it looks like a neat bit of survey work at least to these layperson eyes.

Project Hephaistos – II. Dyson sphere candidates from Gaia DR3, 2MASS, and WISE

ABSTRACT. The search for extraterrestrial intelligence is currently being pursued using multiple techniques and in different wavelength bands. Dyson sphere

Scientists have found 'evidence' of advanced alien civilisations

No actual news. Just the ongoing search for Dyson spheres. Excess infrared radiation is the tipoff, with a handful of candidate sightings identified by Project Hephaistos. Real tipoff will be when a Dyson sphere is listed with Sotheby’s.

Scientists have found 'evidence' of advanced alien civilisations

It’s long been assumed that if alien civilisations do exist, they’re a hell of a lot smarter than we are.And yet, whilst a team of scientists agrees that this is probably true, they’ve also proven that they’re clever enough themselves to track these ETs down.The international team of researchers, ba...

I just finished watching the movie #Moonfall starring Halle Berry and Patrick Wilson. It is currently rated 5.2/10 at IMDb. I can tell you, I am _not_ going to raise that rating.

That is a great looking and very creative story about #DysonSpheres and megastructures in space. The execution of that story is horrible.

There are way too many loose ends in this one to even begin picking this apart properly.

Just stay away from it, please.

Using e-MERLIN and EVN/e-VLBI, two powerful radio telescope arrays with Jodrell Bank’s crucial involvement, we observed one of these stars and confirmed a ‘hot DOG’ behind it (the left in the picture).

Remember the recent discovery of seven stars with unusual spectral energy distributions, initially identified as possible Dyson Spheres?

Now, we, a group of SETI astronomers at the University of Manchester (@OfficialUoM) propose an alternative: the strange characteristics of these stars may come from ‘hot DOGs’—rare, dust-rich galaxies located behind the stars, contaminating their light in the infrared.

IMHO #DysonSpheres and #Superflares are pretty incompatible. I seriously doubt anybody would consider them commercially viable. Even Elon probably would not build one. And, even worse, no insurance would cover things like superflares.

Did a NASA telescope detect cosmic 'hot dogs' or Dyson spheres?

"As a mainstream WISE Team member, working on WISE-detected distant galaxies, the steady occasional reference to 'Dyson spheres' since launch has been an annoyance."

#DysonSpheres: Could #alien #megastructures exist in the #MilkyWay? Scientists found 7 places to look
Have scientists discovered infrared radiation, evidence of waste heat generated by the energy-harvesting star-surrounding spheres first proposed by British American physicist #FreemanDyson?

‘Dyson spheres’ were theorized as a way to detect alien life. Scientists say they’ve found potential evidence

New research suggests stars in the Milky Way give off infrared heat expected from Dyson spheres, which physicist Freeman Dyson theorized could be created by intelligent life.
