[00:00:04.05] ♪Music♪[HD 141569A] [Disks of debris around stars often show striking patterns...]
[00:00:08.09] ♪Music♪[Like arcs]
[00:00:12.14] ♪Music♪[rings]
[00:00:16.17] ♪Music♪[and spirals.]

[00:00:23.27] ♪Music♪[Do these features tell us unseen planets are stirring gas and dust in these disks?]
[00:00:27.35] ♪Music♪
[00:00:31.48] ♪Music♪[No, according to a new NASA simulation.]

[00:01:02.45] ♪Music♪[The gas pressure rises, trapping more dust]
[00:01:05.60] ♪Music♪[which then heats more gas, trapping more dust..]
[00:01:08.79] ♪Music♪[and a cycle of growth begins.]

[00:01:14.04] ♪Music♪[The interplay of dust and gas results in patterns like those seen in real disks.]
