Magnetic reconnection in a current sheet is commonly found in astrophysical plasma environments. If it is often bursty, releasing magnetic free energy explosively, in planetary magnetospheres, it instead displays a quasi-steady state in the solar wind, where the energy is dissipated via slow-mode shocks. The reason for this difference is elusive.
