What Is Dyson Sphere And Why It Is Considered Around KIC-8462852?

 In 1960, Freeman Dyson, a British American Mathematical Physics and Astrophysics, mentioned a Dyson Sphere in a science paper, search for the artificial stellar source of infrared radiation. According to him, if there is an advanced Civilization in our Galaxy, how will we know about it?  So we can see them from their main star. There will have a spherical structure that is around their star.  All the energy from that star would be used by that civilization.  Freeman Dyson named it a Dyson sphere.  It will be a giant structure that will be built around that star. This will accumulate a large amount of energy of that star.

In that case the star will in infrared. The need for energy on our planet is increasing day by day.  For which we're meeting the demand for energy from chemical fuels, electricity and today through nuclear fusion reactors. But all this energy resources are limited. This will surely end one day or another.  The main star of that solar system is the best and unlimited source of energy.  So if there was an advanced alien Civilization in the Galaxy, it would be using the energy of its star for which it would have built a huge structure. We can also call them Type 1 civilization.

 


But perhaps astronomers have found such a star

The Kepler space mission was launched by NASA in 2009. Its job is to keep an eye on the stars and explore their planets. It does its job well. The diameter of the primary mirror engaged in it is 1.4 metre, which is very sensitive. The Kepler Space Telescope monitors thousands of stars simultaneously. Using the Kepler transit method, the light in a star can also detected a minor fall. A Drop in the light of means that something must have come in front of it. Which is a probably one of its planets. It is named after a Johannes Kepler, A German astronomer.  Similarly, the Kepler Space Telescope was making an observation in the constellation Cygnus but it seemed to be very strange in a star. That star’s light had dropped by 20%. 

Even if a planet like Jupiter or Saturn came in front of its star,  it could cause a drop of about 2% in a light of that star.  If a start's light is reduced by 20%, it means that something very large is in front of it.  Something strange was happening to that star.  The name of this star is KIC- 8462852. KIC- 8462852 or also called tabby's star. It is named after the stars Discoverer Tebittha Boyanjian. Who was part of the planet Hunter project.  The tabby’s star is present in the constellation Cygnus about 1500 light years. This means that there may be aliens on a planet 1500 light years away. Which are much more developed than? Astronomers have not been able to unravel, the mystery behind the star, so they have come up with many possibilities. 

 They said it was probably a huge dust and gas disc in front of the star. Which is blocking the light is coming from it. The second possibility is that there is a very large group of comets around it. These could be fragments of a ruined planet.

But even with a mass of comets, the light of a star cannot be diminished to such an extent. If there is a third possibility it is the possibility that the most scientist do not believe to be true.  A gigantic structure belt around it by the inhabitants of another planet. Just like Freeman Dyson imagined. If such a structure really exists then it has something very interesting going on. Scientists say have built this solar Dyson sphere around their star with fragments of a destroyed planet.  But it exists at a distance of 1500 light years from us. This means that the image of the star we are seeing now is 1500 years old.

Scientists have pointed to the Allen telescope array (ATA), a radio telescope, to the star so that they may be able to hear their Radio conversation. This telescope is designed to detect a very special task, extra-terrestrials intelligence alien life. Its dishes can also detect very light radio frequency coming from space, but we could not detect any radio frequency coming from the star. However, for the first time, scientists were not at all prepared to accept that any giant structure actually existed around KIC- 8462852.

It has also been featured in several science fiction films.It is not easy to build such a huge structure around a star, but it is not impossible to build one. Not all the planet in our solar system has as much energy as the sun alone. We do not use even 0.001% of the sun's energy. if not today then solar energy will be the main source of energy for us. What is the secret behind the current decline in the light of the star is still a mystery today. On May 19, 2017, scientists reported that the star was losing its light again. No one can say for sure what is happening in that star system but what is happening is very interesting.

 Is it possible to create Dyson sphere?

So the answer is yes it is possible. Solar panels are a good example of this. But Dyson Swarm will be more accurate than a Dyson sphere. In it, tens of millions of solar Mirrors are placed in front of it of the sun. Every single mirror will be in the shape of a hexagon.

This will collect energy from the sun and deliver it to the earth. From an engineering point of view, it is impossible to place any megastructure send by us in front of the sun at this time. This requires a very strong material that can absorb the heat of the Sun. The second biggest problem is that a Dyson swarm's panels have to be balanced by gravitational binding to the stable manner of the Sun.

This is because they are not attracted to the sun because it’s Gravity. Scientists consider the planet Mercury to be a good thing to do. Because the amount of metals material on the planet Mercury is very high. The important thing is that it is very close to the sun. So Dyson swarm’s panels can be built on it.  These Mirrors will be placed at a short distance from each other around the sun. This will reduce the risk of a comet colliding with it. It is so close to the sun that it has no atmosphere and very little Gravity. It can be easily launched by manufacturing the panels of solar Dyson Swarm. It is it possible to build on the basis of Engineering but for this we may have to wait a very long time.
