High speed plasma flows, often referred to as jets, are extremely common across the Universe. Such jets are observed in Earth&aposs magnetosphere, in solar flares, and near various objects powered by black holes. New insights into the processes that modify these streams of ionised particles have been provided by rare in situ measurements of plasma flows made by ESA&aposs Cluster spacecraft.
