Abstract
After a summary of the observations of cosmic magnetic fields, I brief ly discuss the status of dynamos, the use of electric circuits, the ph ysics of magnetic explosions, the role of magnetic tension and our str ongest magnet known, the radio pulsar. Finally I mention a few problem areas which may show a breakthrough in the near future.
