Plasma: The other 99.9%

How do you see the Solar System? The simple view is gas giants and rocky
asteroids and planets moving through nearly empty space. The sophisticated view
illustrated above, shows the heliospheric current sheet, a component of the
interplanetary plasma we call the Solar Wind, awash throughout the Solar System.

Over 99.9% of the universe is made of plasma, including the Sun and all stars,
and most of the space in between. So if you don't know the basic properties of
plasmas, then you might not understand the properties of most of the universe.
