Scientists are confident - Extraterrestrials construct energy facilities near about sixty stars.
Astronomers from Sweden and Italy have found 60 stars that look like they're encircled by huge, enigmatic structures while examining five million remote solar systems. Their main focus was on seven odd-looking stars, known as "M dwarf stars," which are between 8% and 60% the size of our sun. What made them stand out? These stars give off more infrared heat than expected, and this can't be explained by natural space events, according to the researchers. Their suspicion: there could be more to it.
Weird Worlds: Dyson Spheres and Alien Civilizations
Going all the way back to the 1960s, astrophysicists thought about enormous solar energy collectors in space. The renowned scientist Freeman Dyson (Princeton University - USA) took the lead in suggesting that extraterrestrial civilizations might be identifiable because they would seem to dim their star. This concept revolves around advanced civilizations hankering for energy and having built huge solar collectors around their star (like our sun). The inside would have endless energy, while the outside would appear relatively undetectable.
Key Players: Two Astronomy Teams
Getting more specific, you can't observe FAST (Faraday Future Advanced Space Telescope) nothing. This is because the heat radiated from such a shell can only be perceived as infrared light, and that's exactly what the scientists have found. Two teams of astronomers led by MatÃas Suazo from Uppsala University (Sweden) and Gaby Contardo from the International School for Advanced Studies in Italy were instrumental in the discovery. To detect the critical infrared information, they compared data from the most recent generation of space satellites.
Even though there might be other rationales for the extra infrared signatures uncovered, Suazo expresses that "the most intriguing possibility could be actual Dyson spheres."
What is FAST?
FAST (Faraday Future Advanced Space Telescope) is a project developing an interstellar orbiting telescope. It is a joint undertaking between China and the United States, primarily funded by Faraday Future, an electric vehicle manufacturer. The telescope will have a larger receiver than any other radio telescope currently operational, allowing it to detect weak radio signals from space. It is expected to be launched in 2024.
