In our experiment, the garden cress and cyanobacteria thrived under K-dwarf light much better than I expected, indicating that Earth life might adapt to alien environments.
The experiment highlights that certain Earth-based photosynthetic life forms could flourish under dim red star light, suggesting potential pathways for life in alien atmospheres.
This research is pivotal in predicting how life could alter alien atmospheres, creating signatures detectable from afar, showcasing the adaptability of terrestrial organisms.
Our findings suggest that K-dwarf stars, though cooler than our Sun, could harbor ecosystems that function under different light conditions, expanding our understanding of life's possibilities.
