Background: In the year 2204, humans have colonized most of the inner solar system. During the first explorations of the vast outer system, a team of researchers uncovers a series of alien artifacts. These devices are capable of global atmospheric and solar manipulation. However, their size is the most shocking factor.

They are small enough to fit in one's pocket.

How is it scientifically possible to produce this much capability in a single object of this size? Keep in mind that the aliens are at approximately Kardashev 1 level; they are not yet at Dyson swarm-nanotech level.
