The theory of spontaneous localized reconnection at the magnetospheric boundary of solar-system planets possessing a strong internal magnetic field is considered. Such forms of reconnection (flux transfer events) leading to the formation of magnetic filaments were observed via satellite in the magnetospheres of the earth, Mercury, and Jupiter. The physical factors controlling the temporal and spatial scales of this phenomenon as a function of the distance from the sun (the solar wind parameters) and the planetary magnetic dipole moment are discussed. The theoretical estimates of the characteristic diameters of the magnetic filaments (5000, 500, and 13,000 km for the earth, Mercury, and Jupiter, respectively) are in satisfactory agreement with experimental data.
