== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Technosignature''' β Any "Observable Evidence" of "Extraterrestrial Technology" (Radio, Infrared, Laser, Atmospheric chemicals, or Megastructures). * '''Dyson Sphere''' β (See Article 698). A "Hypothetical" "Shell" or "Swarm" that "Encloses" a "Star" to "Capture" its "Entire Energy Output." * '''Matrioshka Brain''' β A "Megastructure" "Composed" of "Multiple Layers" of "Dyson Spheres," where each layer "Uses" the "Waste Heat" of the layer inside it to "Perform" **"Massive Computation."** * '''Shkadov Thruster''' β (Stellar Engine). A "Megastructure" that "Uses" "Mirror-like Surfaces" to "Push" a "Star" through space (The 'Spaceship' is the 'Star'). * '''Kardashev Scale''' β (See Article 698). The "Measurement" of "Civilization Advancement" (Type I, II, III) "Based" on "Energy Use." * '''Infrared Excess''' β The "Primary Signal" of a Dyson Sphere: "Detecting" "Thermal Radiation" from a star that is "Warmer" than "Expected" because the "Light" is "Being Captured and Re-emitted." * '''Orbital Occultation''' β The "Anomalous" "Dimming" of a star (e.g. 'Tabby's Star') caused by a "Massive Artificial Object" "Passing" in front of it. * '''Atmospheric Technosignatures''' β "Industrial Pollutants" (like 'CFCs' or 'NO2') found in the "Atmosphere" of an "Exoplanet." * '''Stellar Disruption''' β "Evidence" of "Mining" (see Article 688) or "Dumping" of "Waste" into a "Star," "Changing" its "Spectral Signature." * '''Dyson-Harrop Satellite''' β A "Hypothetical" "Megastructure" that "Extracts" "Energy" from the **"Solar Wind."** </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
