Re: Question on Globular Clusters

Light days to light weeks distances at the cluster cores.
Pluto is roughly 5 light hours from the sun.

Planet formation was less likely because most of the globulars are old, made of old stars formed before the interstellar medium was "poluted" by heavy metals (stuff heavier than helium) by the early generation of supernova and planetary nebulae. But I'm sure there were/are some planets. Maybe not lots of heavy terrestrial planets but lotsa Jovians.
