Often imagined as the crown jewel of future megastructures, a Dyson swarm—an orbiting fleet of solar collectors around the Sun—has long been considered a potential key to unlocking interstellar-scale ...

To meet such escalating power needs, one theoretical solution involves surrounding a star with an array of solar-collecting satellites—a concept known as a Dyson swarm. While this idea remains ...

A new paper explores this and concludes that a complete Dyson swarm outside the orbit of Earth would raise our temperature by 140 K. The concept of a Dyson swarm is purely a hypothetical concept ...

One explanation for the behavior was an alien megastructure called a "Dyson swarm." Now, that possibility has been ruled out. So, what's actually going on? To find out, scientists used telescopes ...

Here the use of loosely coupled objects, in say a ring formation, could be in an orbit around the star, yet otherwise fulfill the requirements of a so-called Dyson swarm of independent structures.

A Dyson sphere would likely be a swarm of solar collectors rather than a solid shell. This "Dyson swarm" would be mechanically stable and resistant to damage. Dyson swarms could be detected by ...

“As an example, it was estimated that a partial Dyson Sphere, or Dyson Swarm, covering 22% of the sphere surface at an extension of 2.13 AU would require 1.3 × 10 23 kg of silicon, and would ...
