Space plasmas or astrophysical plasmas, are prolific; the visible universe is at least 99.999% plasma, and includes:
- Solar plasma (stellar plasma) in the Sun and stars including the core, photosphere (visible surface), chromosphere, corona, and heliosphere
- The solar wind or interplanetary plasma (the space between the planets) including the heliospheric current sheet
- The interstellar medium (the space between star systems)
- The Intergalactic medium (the space between galaxies)
- The Io-Jupiter flux-tube
- Interstellar nebulae
- Astrophysical jets
- Dust clouds which mix with its plasma surrounds to form complex dusty plasmas
