Best Place To Look For Life In The Milky Way

I would go with "globular clusters" This is a spherical group of about
a 100 million stars. One of its great features for intelligent
life to have plenty of time to evolve comes from this fact. The stars
these clusters contain are what our sun's age would be if we added 3
billion years. These stars were created at a time when hydrogen,helium
nebular(clouds) were very dense,but these clouds had no dust to help
gravity and electro-magnetizium to create fusion. They took lots of time
to become stars. This is the reason these stars last so long,they
have 100 of times less iron than the sun I read these stars do a lot of
traveling,and this means to me they could have picked up rock planets
going through space. Bert

....or not.

Most of the stars in globular clusters are even older than the 8 billion
years you quoted (5 billion for the Sun, plus 3). They formed at a time
when elements other than hydrogen and helium weren't very abundant in the
universe, so the complex organic molecules necessary for life couldn't have
formed either. (The capture a rogue planet might occasionally be possible,
but the planet itself would have to have formed later for the necessary
elements to be present. If that's the case, why not just look at stellar
systems that were coalescing during the same era? There, planets with
heavier elements would be the rule instead of the exception.)

Bill You bring in the other side of the argument. That is good,for I
like ideas (thoughts) in every direction. We agree intelligent life
takes a long time to evolve. Stars that make up these
clusters are longer lasting than the sun. Bert

Globs are low in metals. Not much joy for forming terrestrial type planets.

Ifanzian These clusters of stars are moving through space. Their gravity
would attract space dust. The planets in our solar system did not come
out of the sun. Look at all the rocks,and ice that make up the Oort
belt. I can't prove there are no planets in these 100 million star
clusters. Like you say is true for these early stars have less iron,and
other heavy elements now however being inside the Milky Way things could
be different. Bert.

Globulars also have very little dust and gas floating around. If anything
they lose gas and dust to the galaxy they are orbiting.

LIanzian You could be closer to reality than me. We will never know for
sure. I'll only ask for one planet in that group of 100 million stars
(fair?) Since I'm giving so much I want this planet to have 70% surface
water,and an average temperature of 60 degrees. Rotate once in 24 hours
have a moon of 2,000 miles in diameter(one fourth of the planets
diameter. If you give me that Lianzian I will give you the
other stars. "Please" Bert

Bert! Look again at your post below...

Here you appear to list things that are essential to life...

1) planet on which to live,

2) 70% surface water,

3) average temperature of 60 degrees (F),

4) appropriate rotational period,

5) LARGE MOON !!! (?)

So Bert, are we saying here that a large satellite such as
Earth's Moon is essential for the evolution of intelligent
life?

If so, this may vastly lower the chances of finding life in
other systems of the Milky Way!

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

Hi Painius I'm going with life as we know it. (earth life) I'm
going with what I thought life is a 100 million to one shot. The earth
has a big moon,and that helps stir things up. Bert

Life, well my guess is that could be anywhere, Intelligent life, well
dont bother looking in the direction of the Blue Planet 3rd from the
Sun

The two most abundant elements in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity.
Why is the ratio of Hydrogen to Stupidity less in usenet than anywhere else in the universe?
