If you ever drive north on I-280 between San Mateo and San Francisco, keep your eyes open as you drive across the bridge. On the right side, you'll see this house.

 

Followed very soon afterwards (also on the right side of the road) by this statue.

I remember seeing the house when I last was on that road in 1978, but I don't remember the statue.

Maybe. Globular clusters are generally metal-poor (which cuts down the likelihood of planets) and are also very crowded environments (so there's a larger chance of star-star encounters that would disrupt planetary systems).

 

That said, I think there is a known exoplanet in a globular cluster. It's just that Omega Cen is a standout, the largest such cluster our galaxy has, and it has had a more complicated history than other globulars (of which there's probably about 200 belonging to our galaxy).
