The universe is full of ionized matter - plasma, controlled by magnetic fields. Jets of hot matter escape into the surrounding space not only from the Sun, but also from other stars, galactic nuclei, and even entire galaxies. Plasma clumps and ropes then influence events in the surrounding universe and can create many an attractive spectacle.
