Main Body
Some people think aliens build many small panels around a star. They call this a swarm. Red stars and white stars are good for this because they last a long time.
有些人認為外星人在恆星周圍建造了許多小型面板。他們將其稱為「群集」。紅巨星和白矮星非常適合這樣做，因為它們能維持很長時間。
These machines take light and turn it into heat. This makes the star look very cold. Natural stars do not look like this. Scientists use special maps to find these cold stars.
這些機器將光能轉化為熱能。這使得恆星看起來非常寒冷。天然的恆星不會是這樣。科學家使用特殊的星圖來尋找這些寒冷的恆星。
Scientists used a big telescope to look at five million stars. They found seven strange stars. One star was actually a black hole. Now, five stars are still a mystery.
科學家使用大型望遠鏡觀察了五百萬顆恆星。他們發現了七顆奇怪的恆星。其中一顆實際上是黑洞。現在，仍有五顆恆星充滿謎團。
Conclusion
Scientists are now studying these five stars to see if they are natural or made by aliens.
科學家目前正在研究這五顆恆星，以確定它們是天然的還是由外星人製造的。
