Supernovae shocks, accretion disks, and collimated jets are astrophysical phenomena thought to be dominated by hydrodynamical and magnetohydrodynamical effects. Their spatial and temporal extent cover an enormous range of scales, from tens of kilometers to many parsecs, and from a fraction of second to a million years. What they all share is the importance of strong magnetic fields. In this article the progress and challenges are reviewed of laboratory-based, pulsed-power devices with high currents and voltages as platforms for studying scaled versions of these fascinating outer space plasma phenomena.
