If it was the entrance, it would be in vacuum, so the copper wouldn't
oxidize. It could be they just painted it or used some exotic alloy or
composite.

How about a criswell instead? Much more room, and you could lengthen the
life of the sun by a few million years while you are at it.
A ringworld or a lot of ring orbitals seems more plausible though...
Actually, I was just recently thinking of doing a "hollow planet" type
image with an artificial sun in the center...not exactly a Dyson Sphere,
but close enough to make this surprising...
