Dyson spheres were first proposed by Freeman Dyson in 1960 as a way for an advanced civilization to harness a star’s power.
Consisting of floating power collectors, factories, and habitats, they’d take up more and more space until they eventually surrounded almost the entire star like a sphere.
The seven objects, all located within 1,000 light-years of Earth , are “M-dwarfs” - a class of stars that are smaller and less bright than the Sun .
If they needed, say, lots of carbon to make their structures, then we’re looking at dismantling millions of planetary systems to get hold of it.
I’m not saying a super-advanced alien civilization couldn’t do this, but it is one hell of a job.
I strongly suspect that by the time a civilisation got to the point of having the ability to build a Dyson sphere, they’d have a better way of getting the power.
