In interstellar space(?), where plasma densities are the lowest you will  
ever find, thats to be expected and entirely consistent with the EU model  
I would have thought.

But strengths of fields aside, the fact that there are remotely observable  
magnetic fields throughout the universe at all is surely a smoking gun in  
the EU models favor, not a refutation of it.

The argument would seem to be over what exactly is generating all those  
magnetic fields, I think you already know what the EU crowd and most  
electrical engineers are going to say.

The trick it would seem to be is gathering the necessary data to either  
confirm or deny their theories.
Good thing we have a star burning brightly in our own backyard.

WE CAN DO SCIENCE TO IT!
