Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SETI searches for communications from life around nearby stars, as they are more likely to have habitable planets and are easier to observe compared to other galaxies or the center of the Milky Way. The solar system is also not a target for SETI as it is already known to not have any intelligent life beyond Earth. Globular clusters are too old and lack the necessary elements for life to exist.
