The Sun emits a steady flow of electrically-charged particles called the solar wind. As the solar wind expands supersonically into space, it creates a magnetized bubble around the Sun -- the heliosphere. Eventually, the solar wind runs into the electrically-charged particles and magnetic field in the interstellar gas. The solar wind abruptly slows down from supersonic to subsonic speed, creating a termination shock. Before both spacecraft travel beyond the heliopause into interstellar space, they must pass through that shockwave. 2, record 2, English, - termination%20shock

A submerged wave occurring on a density surface, i.e. the thermocline, in density-stratified water. Because of the small density gradients involved in internal waves compared with external or surface waves, the internal wave heights, periods, and wave lengths are usually large. 2, record 3, English, - internal%20wave
