The recent observations, of energetic heavy ions in the vicinity of Comet Halley and Comet Giacobini-Zinner, are rather intriguing. Moreover the solar coronal heating is still not well understood and is somewhat puzzling. Since both these observations can not be properly explained by means of classical processes, we have to invoke anomalous heating and acceleration effects due to chaotic and turbulent plasma processes.
