Dyson SpheresSome time ago the present author suggested the idea of astroengineering interference by a cosmic supercivilization in the evolution of the Sirius system. This assumption was based on the Indo-European myth of the heavenly blacksmiths, who are fighting and chaining up the monstrous Dog, dangerous for the Universe, as well as on some astrophysical data from the history of Sirius.
It is known in astronomy that a white dwarf arises from a red giant as this loses its mass. This process is usually accompanied by a slow ejection of a planetary nebula which eventually dissipates into space. But sometimes the remaining core of the red giant can retain a mass exceeding the so-called Chandrasekhar limit (about 1.3 Sun masses). This leads inevitably to disastrous self-compression of the core and its explosion as a Supernova. As a result, powerful streams of matter and radiation are ejected into the surrounding space.
If such an event had ever happened in the Sirius system, at a small (on the cosmic scale) distance from the Solar system, it might have been fatal for the terrestrial biosphere. My idea was that some highly developed supercivilization could have tried to remove the excess of stellar matter from Sirius B, thus saving life and civilization on Earth.
Really, the only thing we know for sure about the evolution of the Sirius system is the fact that Sirius B was once a red giant whose mass exceeded that of Sirius A (that's why the former evolved more rapidly). The initial orbit of Sirius B was, most likely, circular; now it is a highly elongated ellipse. This suggests that the mass loss was accompanied by some considerable disturbances. Some part of the "lost" matter probably contaminated the atmosphere of Sirius A. But the real course of events is still very unclear. The situation will seem even more involved if we bear in mind the possible presence of the second satellite in this system, as is asserted by the Dogon and confirmed by recent astrophysical data.

Are there Dyson Spheres within Saturn’s rings? Are Phoebe and Iapetus Dyson Spheres?The most famous space habitat plan was created by Freeman Dyson, an astronomer who currently holds a position at the Institute for Advanced Study. Freeman Dyson is a prolific writer and a celebrated scientist who is the president of the Space Studies Institute (SSI). He came up with the concept of a Dyson sphere?. A Dyson sphere is an enormous artificial sphere that surrounds a star. The sphere consists of a patchwork of solar collectors facing the star with hum an habitats on the exterior (or interior) of this sphere. The idea is that by creating a huge surface surrounding the star, the maximum amount of energy radiating from a star can be collected and exploited.
There are two types of Dyson spheres. Type I spheres consist of independently orbiting structures that don’t form a continuous shell, but nevertheless absorb all the starlight emanating from the star. Type II spheres, however, are Dyson spheres that are solid shells.

Saturn's Satelitteshttp://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/forum/phpB ... 180#p49379
Originally, before Nibiru came to our solar system, there were already 9 planets, without the asteroid belt. When Nibiru came, it became the 10th planet. However, Nibiru destroyed one of the original planets with its moon creating the asteroid belt. Now we have 9 planets with 1 planet destroyed.
I believe the 10th planet Nibiru is already amongst our planets. It has been with us ever since. It is carefully disguised until it crosses near the path of Earth. It does this every 3,600 years for a specific purpose.
I believe Nibiru is an artificial planet including its moon which obliterated a former member of our solar system which is now debris floating about as our asteroid belt. I believe Nibiru's moon that obliterated our former planet to be still in orbit around Nibiru, but split into two.
To find Nibiru and its counterpart, we have to find artificiality on a planet or on a moon.
A candidate for this is Saturn's moon, Iapetus. Iapetus is just one of the candidates; perhaps one of Nibiru's moons is hiding among Saturn's moons. We still have to search for Nibiru.The Dogon call Saturn the "star of limiting the place" and say that when the Nommo left they became the "star of the 10th moon" - Phoebe is the 10th moon of Saturn and although little is known about it, what is known about it is quite odd. It is about 200 Km in diameter and has an orbit that is unlike the other moons of Saturn. It is much further out, goes round the other way and at a much different angle. It is black as soot and appears to be made of rock - but if it was made of rock it would be about 5 times heavier than it actually is. It is also much more spherical than you would expect for an object with almost no gravity.Phoebe apparently stayed behind, trapped in orbit about the young Saturn. Cassini has unveiled that Phoebe's surface is heavily potholed with large and small craters. Images reveal bright streaks in the ramparts of the largest craters, bright rays which emanate from smaller craters, and uninterrupted grooves across the face of the body. Its surface is made of water ice, water-bearing minerals, carbon dioxide, possible clays and primitive organic chemicals in patches at different locations on the surface.According to Sumerian records, the Annunaki claimed that as their planet approached our system they would arrive from their world on ships, each containing fifty occupants, materials and supplies. These ships would then enter our solar system, assuming an orbit passing between Jupiter and Mars. As they completed operations, their ship would leave its orbit and approach Saturn. Using Saturn's enormous gravitational pull to assist their acceleration they would then 'slingshot', returning to their own system which would be completing the nearest part of its 4,000 year orbit and heading back out into deep space.
Saturn's enormous gravitational and electromagnetic fields were regarded with great fear and awe by the Annunaki - they called it 'the great destroyer'.
Apparently this was because of an incident in their distant past when a ship with fifty occupants was lost on a mission to the inner solar system. Possibly through trajectory or flight path miscalculations, the story describes a craft becoming trapped in a large orbit around Saturn, hopelessly dooming its occupants from any timely rescue.
The 2004/2005 Cassini/Huygens probe's flyby of Saturn revealed unprecedented photos of many bodies in the region, including close-ups of Saturn's moon Titan and its gaseous atmosphere and only briefly mentioned in the media and in the official NASA releases.
However, was the fact that a correction in the flight path of the probe had sent it within photographic range of Iapetus, a body that orbits Saturn in a very large and unusually inclined orbit- far wider than any other object circling Saturn? Scientists believe this extremely remote orbiting object was most likely 'trapped' or pulled into orbit instead of originating as part of Saturn's moon and ring system.

Iapetus is the seventeenth of Saturn's known satellites and the third largest. In Greek mythology Iapetus was a Titan, the son of Uranus, the father of Prometheus and Atlas and an ancestor of the human race.
The leading and trailing hemispheres of Iapetus are radically different. The albedo of the leading hemisphere is between .03 and .05, as dark as lampblack, whereas the trailing hemisphere's albedo is .5, almost as bright as Europa. This difference is so striking that Cassini noted that he could see Iapetus only on one side of Saturn and not on the other.
One explanation of this is that the leading hemisphere is dusted with a coating of material knocked off of Phoebe. However, the color of the leading half of Iapetus and that of Phoebe don't quite match. Another possibility is that some active process within Iapetus is responsible. The puzzle is compounded by the fact that the dividing line between the two sides is inexplicably sharp.
All of Saturn's moons except for Iapetus and Phoebe are very nearly in the plane of Saturn's equator. Iapetus is inclined almost 15 degrees.
Phoebe is the outermost of Saturn's known satellites. Phoebe is almost 4 times more distant from Saturn than its nearest neighbor (Iapetus).
Phoebe (Artemis) was the goddess of the hunt and the Moon; twin sister of Apollo.
Most of Saturn's moons are bright but Phoebe's albedo is very low (.05), as dark as lampblack.
All of Saturn's moons except for Phoebe and Iapetus orbit very nearly in the plane of Saturn's equator. Phoebe's orbit is inclined almost 175° (its north pole is in the opposite direction to Saturn's).
Phoebe's eccentric, retrograde orbit and unusual albedo indicates that it may be a captured asteroid or Kuiper Belt object.
Phoebe is also unusual in that it does not rotate synchronously as do all the other moons of Saturn except Hyperion.
Material knocked off of Phoebe's surface by microscopic meteor impacts may be responsible for the dark surfaces of Hyperion and the leading hemisphere of Iapetus.
Saturn’s Iapetus

Since “Moon with a View” was originally posted, reaction has been varied – to say the least!
Fundamental to many criticisms of this theory is the scale of the construction we’re proposing. These critics see the entire idea of an “artificial moon” – and one almost a thousand miles across -- as totally preposterous, mainly because of the size of such an undertaking. What they forget is that some of these (artificial world) ideas are actually quite old … and increasingly achievable – even within the constraints of current technology and physics!
Their most famous incarnation is, in major part, due to Princeton University’s Institute for Advanced Studies’ professor, Dr. Freeman Dyson. Almost half a century ago, Dyson published a remarkable idea in the prestigious mainstream journal, Science [Dyson, F. J. "Search for Artificial Sources of Infrared Radiation," Science, 131, 1667 (1959)] – which described something termed a “Dyson Sphere.” Dyson ended his Science paper with the following conclusion.
In Dyson’s 1950’s calculations, he envisioned huge, artificial planets -- built from the “disassembly” of a star’s natural planetary system, and its subsequent reassembly into a vast number of smaller, precisely engineered artificial worlds. The resulting “Dyson Sphere,” in Dyson’s speculations, seemed the largest artificial structures that an advanced civilization could probably ever technologically create. And as such, he believed, they might even be observable light years away, with our “primitive” technology from Earth.
In one of the Universe’s greatest “irony of ironies” -- considering what we now believe the three-dimensional shape of Iapetus to be – the material that will allow the construction of the world’s first practical Space Elevator … and a host of other “impossible” things … turns out to be based on a simple tetrahedral molecule … composed of carbon: the “carbon nanotube.”
Carbon nanotubes are extremely tiny (the prefix “nano” comes from their dimensions, about a billionth of a meter -- one nanometer -- wide), rolled-up, three dimensional carbon tubes, made of a hexagonal graphite lattice -- first cousin to two other forms (“allotropes”) of carbon (below): the well-known diamond … and something relatively new, called a “Buckminsterfullerene.”
The latter -- also known as “buckyballs” – are C60 molecules discovered serendipitously by a team at Rice University, led by Dr. Richard Smalley (Nature 318, 162) in 1985 (below). Named after R. Buckminster Fuller, inventor of the geodesic dome (discussed in “Moon with a View” - Part 2), the “fullerene’s” 60 carbon atoms (!) are arranged spherically, as 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons (below), in the most symmetrical molecular form known.
In addition to being an elegant solution to the technology of how Iapetus was formed, the choice of carbon nanotubes and buckyballs for its construction would immediately address (and answer!) a variety of classic problems that have baffled the astronomical community regarding Iapetus’ appearance for the last three hundred years – starting with the unique “light/dark dichotomy” of those opposing hemispheres (below).
In addition, the use of such ultra-high-strength carbon would forthrightly address the startling and baffling new questions raised by Cassini’s recent fly-by, beginning with–
The “moon” has an amazing geometric form.
If Iapetus is a “tetrahedral message” – a message redundantly communicated by the specific placement of key features on its surface (the “ring basins,” etc.), compounded by its very strange orbit around Saturn, at ~ 60 radii away and 15-degree inclination to the rest of the Saturnian moons (which, as George Haas reminded me, when divided into 60, is another numerical code for the four vertices of a tetrahedron!) -- then what better means to underscore that message, once again ... than to create the “moon” in the very shape of the carbon molecule used in its construction.
The implications of a deliberately stealthy Iapetus – constructed with both the precise geometry required for reflecting radar waves away, as well as a dead black, iron-based coating for absorbing the remaining visible and radio electromagnetic energy are definitely non-trivial in this context including the possibility that Iapetus was not a “rescue ark” at all, but in actuality a world-size warship!
