The fast dynamo acting in a turbulent flow explains the origin of magnetic fields in astrophysical objects. Stellar cycles and large-scale magnetic fields in spiral galaxies reflect the behaviour of a mean magnetic field. Intermittent magnetic structures in clusters of galaxies are associated with random magnetic field.
