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

    Does it roll around and suck up dirt? How does this work?

      No. So it works just like the vaccuum cleaner.

      Kind of, except it is more like wrapped around a star and sucks up light.

          You could say: all that light is going to waste without the dyson sphere.
