If it was actually completely enclosing a star that would be impressive. It would also be a bit pointless, since It would result in your spear heating up to stupid temperatures, Which would cause it to glow in the infrared, so you would detect it by that infrared.
Isnβt the idea that the sphere would have a circumference the size of earths orbit? Not sure it would heat up all that much to be noticeable.
