Recently we learned about the exoplanet Kepler-186f, a potentially earthlike, potentially habitable world only around 500 lightyears away. But when I mentioned that here plants would grow red instead of green I was met with skepticism. So I'm back to fully explain exactly why Kepler-186f and planets like it would have red plants!
