This kind of  object,  known  as  a  "Dyson Sphere", would be a very
       powerful source of infrared radiation.   Dyson predicted the peak of
       the radiation at ten micrometers.

       The Dyson Sphere is certainly a grand, far-reaching  concept.  There
       have been some  investigations to find them in the IRAS database (V.
       I. Slysh, 1984;  Jugaku  and  Nishimura,  1991;  and  Kardashev  and
       Zhuravlev, 1992).

           described in the science fiction novel STAR MAKER by Olaf
           Stapledon in 1937.
