• It's essentially a massive, spherical structure constructed around a star to harness its energy output.

• While often depicted as a solid shell encasing the star completely, various designs and configurations have been theorized over the years.

Concept and Purpose:

• Energy Harvesting: The primary purpose of a Dyson Sphere is to capture and utilize the energy emitted by a star. This energy can be used for various purposes, including powering advanced civilizations, interstellar travel, or even terraforming planets.

• Sustainability: Dyson Spheres offer the potential for nearly unlimited energy, making them attractive for civilizations seeking long-term sustainability and growth.
