2 min readKey summary
JWST examined two top Dyson sphere candidates flagged by Project Hephaistos for excess mid-infrared light.
The apparent technosignatures turned out to be background galaxies nearly aligned behind each star, blending the signals.
One source looks like a hot dust-obscured galaxy and the other like a dusty starburst galaxy, explaining the infrared excess.
The result helps rule out natural impostors and sharpens future searches for alien megastructures.
