'''Astroengineering''' is the name given to the construction of megastructures in space by technologically advanced beings. It is a form of megascale engineering, but deals with structures that are "easily observable" from interstellar distances with 20th century astronomical instruments: e.g. a [[space elevator]] is an example of megascale engineering, but it is not an example of astroengineering. A notable example of astroengineering are the [[Halo Array|Halo rings]], built by the technologically advanced [[Forerunner]]s. | '''Astroengineering''' is the name given to the construction of megastructures in space by technologically advanced beings.
