After all, 47 Tucanae is just one globular. But all the Milky Way's globulars were born about 13 billion years ago, when the galaxy was just forming, and the infant galaxy didn't possess many of the heavy elements thought necessary to form planets.

M13 is the most spectacular globular cluster for northern observers - only w Centauri and 47 Tucanae in southern skies outshine it. It is noticable with an unaided eye about 2°30' S of h Herculi (see finder chart below).
