Abstract

Huge space power plants (Dyson Spheres) utilizing most of a star's energy should be detectable as infrared or microwave sources. A recent far infrared all-sky survey has revealed many sources with a spectrum peaking on this region which is characteristic of the thermal emission of the hypothetical Dyson spheres. The possibility of confusing them with thick circumstellar dust shells around evolved red giant stars is discussed. Microwave detection of cool extended Dyson Spheres by all-sky surveys searching for microwave background fluctuations is also considered.
