The test is whether it emits infrared waves. If it does, we may have our first confirmation of a Dyson Sphere

Just wait until some astronomer figures out that’s actually a picture from an old Star Trek movie...

Wonder what's the little black dot around 7:00 o'clock? Zoom in on it and it looks real, what ever it is.

Are they 100% certain it is not a Chrono-Synclastic Infundibulum?

“Is the solar-system sized bubble in the Consellation Cygnus a planetary nebulae or could it be an “AC” or astroengineering construction, also known as a Dyson sphere, named after Freeman Dyson of the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study who proposed the theory?”
No it could not, for two reasons.
First, it’s transparent (you can see stars through most of it), hence it is not absorbing the central star’s radiation and re-radiating in the infrared.
Second, Dyson spheres have been shown to be unstable over time, the central star’s gravity would cause it to collapse or at least impact the star.
Even a “ringworld” type construct would require active stabilization.

...which are artificial mega structures that enclose the orbit of a star, fabricated from the material of that solar system Uh--we can see through it. Thus it's not enclosing anything.
It's not a Dyson sphere.

Thanks LibWhacker. Looks like the aftermath of what astrophysicists call a Kaboom. Yeah, that's right, I just made that up. ;')
