In the Kardashev Scale, a Type II Civilization would build a Dyson Sphere around their star. A team of astronomers are searching for them.

      Though its important to note that the halos aren’t true ringworlds, they aren’t nearly big enough.

        I guess the big difference is it doesn’t encircle the sun

          Basically. The the whole idea is that it’s 1 AU out so it’s in the habitable zone, spinning fast enough to simulate 1 gravity. Stats for nerds.

            Also known as a Banks orbital.

      Yeah. Ringworld was written way before that and Dyson thought it was a cool idea. Glad to see it used in other stories.
