Cosmic phenomena occur in the remote regions of space where in-situ observations are not possible. For proper understanding of these phenomena laboratory experiments are essential, but the in-situ observations of magnetospheric plasma provides even a better background to test various hypothesis of cosmic interest. This is because the ionospheric-magnetospheric plasma and the solar wind are the only cosmic plasmas accessible to extensive in-situ observations and experiments.
