{"id":"dyson-sphere","name":"Dyson Sphere","summary":"The Dyson Sphere is a hypothetical megastructure that wraps around a star to harvest its energy, named after physicist Freeman Dyson's 1960 paper. The concept exploded online in 2015 when astronomers spotted unusual dimming around star KIC 8462852 and openly speculated it could be an alien-built swarm.","tags":["dyson sphere","dyson swarm","freeman dyson","kic 8462852","tabby's star","alien megastructure","dyson sphere meme"],"howToUse":[],"imageCount":4,"nsfw":false,"images":[{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/dyson-sphere/dyson-sphere-escher-concentric-rinds.webp","caption":"M.C.
