Chandra X-ray Observatory estimates of the "total energy content of the Universe". Only "normal matter" can be directly detected with telescopes. The remaining matter and energy are invisible. Image Credit: NASA WMAP

Magnetic field lines surround a conductor in concentric, equal valued cylinders or "shells". Note that if you align your right thumb in the direction arrow of the current, your curled fingers show the magnetic field direction. Image credit: Wikimedia Commons, captions added
While plasma studies may focus on a single subject such as fusion energy production, the understanding of how the Universe operates also awaits the student with a wider interest. Image credit: DOE-Princeton Plasma Physics Lab; Peter Ginter
