Researchers say that the main color indicating life on Earth is green because plants and bacteria convert sunlight into energy with the help of green chlorophyll. But in the context of any other planet it would be completely different, because there would be no plants there. There will be no sunlight and there may also be a shortage of oxygen.
During research, astronomers at Cornell University developed various bacteria. Then the light reflected by the bacteria was measured. Scientists have found in research that purple bacteria can survive through photosynthesis even in low light. Such bacteria did not even need oxygen components.
Lisa Kaltenegger, who was part of the team of scientists, said that we are opening our eyes to the fascinating worlds around us. Purple bacteria can survive and thrive even in completely different conditions. It’s easy for us now to think that life in other worlds might be purple. However, even in this research the presence of aliens has not been confirmed.
