# Dyson Sphere

Explore the Dyson sphere—a visionary megastructure designed to harness a star’s energy, reflecting humanity’s potential to transcend planetary limits and advance civilization.

A Dyson sphere is a hypothetical megastructure named after Freeman Dyson who explored the concept in his 1960 paper “Search for Artificial Stellar Sources of Infrared Radiation.” This megastructure would hypothetically be built to surround a star to harness large amounts of its energy. Such a structure could hypothetically be used by advanced societies whose energy needs outstrip what could be obtained at a planetary level.
