Abstract

This paper reviews the chief observational phenomena that define interstellar scintillation (ISS) and have given evidence for a widespread distribution of plasma turbulence on very small scales. Though ISS was discovered in pulsars and is still a major perturbation of their signals, it is now also recognized in a variety of fluctuations in the flux density from quasars and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs).
