This composite image made available by NASA shows the spider part of "The Spider and the Fly" nebulae, IC 417, where many stars are formed, captured in infrared by the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS). Located in the constellation Auriga, it is about 10,000 light-years away from Earth in the outer part of the Milky Way, almost exactly in the opposite direction from the galactic center. A team of astronomers has made an intriguing discovery by searching through recent astronomical survey data, identifying seven candidates for alien megastructures, specifically Dyson spheres, that warrant further analysis.
