The K correction is a term used in astronomy to refer to a mathematical adjustment applied to the observed brightness (or luminosity) of astronomical objects, such as stars or galaxies, to account for the effects of redshift and to enable a more accurate comparison of their intrinsic properties. When light from distant objects is observed, the light waves are stretched due to the expansion of the universe, a phenomenon known as redshift.
