CSUN Astronomy Prof and NASA Colleagues Show Disk Patterns in Space Can Form Without Planets

Peering far out into the universe, astronomers and astrophysicists look for markers indicators such as patterns in disks of dust that might indicate the formation of new planets. Recently, however, a team of NASA scientists that includes California State University, Northridge astronomy professor Wladimir Lyra, has discovered evidence that these disk patterns can form on their own, fed by gas and dust, without the presence of planets.
