    You can make it on earth, too. Maybe a scientist could "capture" your plasma screen TV ;)

    flame/fire is a plasma - an atomic one...

    any partially ionized gas is technically a plasma.

    we can also produce "nuclear", or "Quark-Gluon" plasmas - that's what RHIC does.

    see also the table "Common Plasmas" here:
