... The range from astrophysical observation and theory [17][18][19] seen indirectly in the solar corona using UV and X ray emission [20,21], solar flares [22,23], the Earth's magnetotail [14], as well as magnetospheres of other planets [24,25] thermonuclear fusion experiments [26,27], and basic plasma physics laboratory experiments [28][29][30][31][32]. We present several examples but point out that excellent review papers [12,[33][34][35] books [36][37][38] and compendiums of articles [39] are out there. A review of all the observations and theoretical analysis over the broad range of venues in which magnetic field-line reconnection occur is well beyond the scope of this paper. ...
