It is so simple unfortunately it seems physicists will never recognise it. Plasma is a very good refractor ok? It is the 4th and most prevalent state of matter, (ions). It does of course make up the 'fine structure' surface of all matter (1/137th at rest) and the plasmasphere/ionoshpere of our planet. The heliosphere and galactic halo's seem to be made up of billions of solar masses of similar stuff (Dark matter). At the small end, even a single electron develops a plasma cloud when accelerated (at the LHC).
Fresnels refraction co-efficient 'n' rules for all media, including plasma.
Therefore light changes speed to the local 'c' of all plasma, i.e. all matter everywhere.
This explains about all the anomalies in physics and astrophysics. At last. (It actually also agrees with the postulates of SR).
Even more useful, it explains Equivalence and Gravity. Just ask for how, it's dead simple too. Confirming p = g. It's called the discrete field model, (DFM) and it's free to humankind.

More papers and details available, explaining most anomalies and paradoxes in physics. That's for real!
