Some of the ions of the plasma follow the lines of force downwards entering our atmosphere near the North Pole. The ions play with the atmosphere which can't control its excitement and lights up like a giant florescent bulb. We have southern lights too, by the way.
Birkeland even built a magnetized model of the Earth, painted with some florescent stuff. Then he shot electrons past the metal globe, and it started to glow at the poles. The ability to test something inside a laboratory relating to the universe outside is a very important feature of plasma cosmology.
The laboratory study of plasma generated several predictions when applying this physics to the shape of the universe. Some of these predictions are quite bizarre if you haven't heard of them before. To list just a few:
1) Space is not empty.
2) Space contains swirling plasma filaments carrying electricity.
3) Gravity is not the most important force shaping the universe.
4) Electromagnetism is more important in that function.
5) The Big Bang theory is in trouble.
We've already verified the first two predictions from plasma cosmology: In 1967, our satellites measured magnetic fields indicating electric currents in outer space. Probes have discovered plasma activity around other planets too. The fact is--plasma filaments and electricity fill our solar system. With these discoveries, our picture of the universe starts to change.
