COMMENTS
"It is now understood that outer space is fundamentally electrical in nature. In our homes and in cities, electric currents are guided along thin wires, but this is far from the case in outer space. Electric currents are spread out over a few hundreds of meters to tens of thousands of kilometers, and their cumulative magnitudes are much bigger than any currents on Earth. Electric currents in outer space run the show.”
—"Electric Currents in Outer Space Run the Show", by A. Keiling, O. Marghitu, and M. Wheatland, Eos 2018.)
Even before most astrophysicists drilled down on electrical and wind currents in outer space, June Wayne (1918-2011) was exploring these forces.
