Almost all of the known matter in our universe is in the state of plasma. Because of the complexity of the plasma state, a reliable understanding has to be built on empirical knowledge, since theoretical models easily become misleading unless guided by experiment or observation. Thus, experiments in the laboratory and in situ measurements in space represent an essential, but often overlooked, key to the understanding of our universe. Information learned about the following is addressed: Earth's magnetosphere; classification of cosmic plasmas; electric currents in cosmic plasmas; magnetic field aligned electric fields; anomalous resistivity; magnetic mirror effect; electric double layers; acceleration of charged particles; coupling between magnetic fields and motion of matter; rapid release of magnetically stored energy; filamentary structures; cellular structures; and chemical separation.
