| Abstract | The space between the stars is not empty: interstellar space is filled with diffuse gas and dust, and threaded by invisible magnetic fields. This material is the interstellar medium (ISM), the stuff out of which new stars are born. The ISM is a wonderful physics laboratory. It is sculpted by a rich array of physical processes, and so observations of the ISM can be used to decipher the poorly understood physics that governs the formation of stars and the evolution of gas in galaxies.
