Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SETI searches for extraterrestrial intelligence around nearby stars, as these are the most likely places to find other habitable planets and potential life forms. While it is theoretically possible for life to exist within our own solar system or elsewhere in the Milky Way or other galaxies, these areas have not been the primary focus of SETI's efforts. SETI also does not specifically search in globular clusters, as these are more challenging environments for habitability.
