who knows?

There has been focus on exoplanets and the S.E.T.I. program and now some want to target a different area in the search.  In fact a Russian billionaire has just put up $100 million to restart the S.E.T.I. program.  And with the finding of kepler 452-b and other exoplanets, many peoiple think we should focus our extraterrestrial search there.  However, the densely packed globular clusters might be our best chance…according to some:

Densely packed groups of stars may make excellent cradles for complex space-traveling life to evolve. Despite studies that claim these environments, known as globular clusters, may be too harsh for life, a new study argues for a more optimistic view based on the evolving understanding of where planets lie outside the solar system.

Could they be right?  Well they are densely populated with stars so there could arguably be many chances compared to focusing on one object?

Let’s find out more about this study and check out a video on a peculiar cluster on page 2
