PD Dr. Horst Fichtner "Plasma in the solar system"

PD Dr. Horst Fichtner could introduce in his lecture different plasmas of the solar system and for phenomena like "the solar fire", the hundred thousand degrees hot solar wind, to which interplanetary space probes and astronauts are exposed, detailed and vrständliche explanations supply. Also the energetic cosmic rays he conveyed with an ease in his execution.

He was able to explain why the understanding of these plasmas is important for fundamental physics as well as for the prediction of the so-called space weather and space climate.
