A new discovery about photosynthesis and K-Type-Stars may bolster the theory life on Earth was seeded from elsewhere via Panspermia, and have implications for the future search for alien life.

How do K type stars compare to M type stars in regards to flare activity? I’ve read that M dwarfs are particularly grumpy stars with strong and frequent flares, which when combined with the very close habitatable zone, is thought to strip away the atmosphere of planets. Are K type stars more like G (sun-like) type stars or M type stars in that regard?

They are supposed to be far more stable.
