Dyson Sphere Candidate?

The graceful dance between three stars seen by the Kepler telescope has drawn the attention of astronomers because it is not accompanied by a song.

Most stars are known to generate great booming sounds in their interiors, and Kepler can spot the resulting change in the light that they emit.

However, astronomers reporting in Science say a red giant they have spotted is unexpectedly quiet.

HD181068A is orbited by two smaller, red dwarf stars that orbit each other.

(continued)

They've balanced the stars man, that's cool and it isn't likely by chance alone? :share:

As I understand Dyson spheres they have to be in the comfort zone for the people who built them. That would be a sphere one AU in radius for us. For a red giant star, that would be at least the size of the red giant.

And, further, you wouldn't be able to see the star in a full Dyson sphere.

It might be full of holes to let out the smoke? :share:

This is strong. We're getting heavy here. Maybe they allowed out one of the stars and live inside it? :share: :funny: :funny: :funny: :funny: :funny: :funny: :funny: :|~

If they built one, who are they hiding from?
