How to spot an alien megastructure: The new search for Dyson spheres | New Scientist
But astronomers are still prospecting for evidence of alien engineering. In particular, they have been working to put the pursuit of Dyson spheres on a rigorous scientific footing. Now, they are poring over the most precise cosmic cartography ever produced to try to find stars that could be surrounded by swarms of solar panels and distinguish them from naturally occurring infrared herrings.
