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.

A breakthrough in the studies of magnetic fields in clusters of galaxies has been reached in recent years from the analysis of the Rotation Measure of sources seen through the magnetized cluster medium (Govoni & Feretti 2004). The results obtained can be summarized as follows: (i) magnetic fields are present in all clusters; (ii) at the center of clusters undergoing merger activity the field strenght is around 1 μG, whereas at the center of relaxed cooling core clusters the intensity is much higher (~ 10 μG); (iii) a model involving a single magnetic field coherence scale is not suitable to describe the observational data, because of different scales of field ordering and tangling.
