In my mind, this series is divided into some arcs and there will be more: Arc about basics (whatbis astronomy, gravity, tides, equipment for astronomy, etc...) Solar system arc (Sun, planets, asteroids, comets and meteors, but also those moons, clouds and other stuff) Current star arc (Stars and everything about stars, their shapes, sizes, coloures and even death forms) Now i think there will be something about galaxies then about big bang and then, like you said in episode 1., eventual fate of universe itself. But you know the future of your series, it's great.

Thank you very much for making this video, Phil Plait, Aransda, Thaller, Sweeny and all the others at _Crash Course_ Astronomy! It was really interesting to hear you comparing globular clusters to open, galactic clusters. I actually had no idea what the word ‘globular’ meant before looking it up after this episode. Personally, I do prefer more tightly packed globular clusters over open clusters. Anyway, keep looking at the stars! Thank you for this video!

This series couldn't have come at a better time, in my humble opinion that is. Any time would have been great but with all the discovers and new knowledge we've gleaned since Hubble was launched and now with the Kepler finding new objects seemingly everyday I think the timing was superb. Once the James Webb gets into service I believe it will open our minds to things we could never have dreamed of. Thanks for putting this together, it's been awesome so far!

I watched this video after watching many of the others in the playlist and a couple lectures from other channels. As I was watching this one, I kept thinking how cool it would be if Earth were in a cluster (due to the view of the cosmos and how much easier studying it would be) nut that clusters didn’t seem like they’d be suited to having planets and life, or that if life did somehow form that it’d be at a much higher risk of extinction than we are. Then in the last part of the video you basically said the same thing. I guess I’m learning!

It's sad though that we as a species are so narrow minded that we can only focus fighting each other instead of trying to understand the very little we know now about the space we take in the universe. Learning about how incredably humongous our universe actually is makes you realize how minscule we really are. Life is beautiful.

In the episode, it says that in a cluster it is possible for many stars to orbit around a central point that might possibly be devoid of an object. I understand that part, but would it be possible that the immense gravity of all the stars would work to make that point into a kind of gravity trap? An area where any debris that gets close to it will get stuck in it because the gravity of the stars would prevent it from escaping?

Programs like SpaceEngine are perfect for exploring things like Globular clusters. The stars inside of the documented clusters are randomly generated, so you may find planets orbiting some. SpaceEngine would allow you to see what the sky of a planet would look like should it exist in a cluster, regardless of how unlikely it is in our own universe.

As an Angel. I've always come to these star clusters. Planets do exist there but are often rare and ejection does happen on a common basis. It's nearly impossible for them to maintain a stable orbit. I have found some that did evolve plant life despite them being only around 5 million years old, they were flung by their star but their warm atmosphere and it's bright illuminated sky allowed them to grow.

There was a time when all universe was in "habitable zone" and planets could've existed back then. It is actually quite possible, we are so lonely in the universe because we're "late for the party!"
