Red Dwarfs Are Often Used to Study Stellar Evolution

Laboratories in space.

Because red dwarfs live so long and change slowly, they serve as natural laboratories to observe stable stellar processes over vast timescales.

Why This Matters

This is crucial for modeling long-term galaxy evolution.

It also helps calibrate theories about low-mass stars in distant galaxies.

Did You Know?

Red dwarfs act like cosmic time capsules for astronomers studying stellar life cycles.
