Study Explores Photosynthesis Potential Under K-Dwarf Stars

A recent study investigates how photosynthetic organisms, including garden cress and cyanobacteria, perform under light from K-dwarf stars. Findings suggest these organisms can thrive in such environments, expanding our understanding of potential life on exoplanets. This research highlights the adaptability of life beyond Earth and underscores the importance of exploring various stellar conditions in astrobiology.
