  2. Shock waves in astrophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_waves_in_astrophysics

    Such shocks are formed by photons colliding with the electrons of the matter, and the downstream of these shocks is dominated by radiation energy density rather than thermal energy of matter. An important type of astrophysical shock is the relativistic shock, in which the shock velocity is a non-negligible fraction of the speed of light.

  3. Shock wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_wave

    In physics, a shock wave (also spelled shockwave), or shock, is a type of propagating disturbance that moves faster than the local speed of sound in the medium. Like an ordinary wave, a shock wave carries energy and can propagate through a medium, but is characterized by an abrupt, nearly discontinuous, change in pressure , temperature , and ...

  5. Bow shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_shock

    For Earth and other magnetized planets, it is the boundary at which the speed of the stellar wind abruptly drops as a result of its approach to the magnetopause. For stars, this boundary is typically the edge of the astrosphere , where the stellar wind meets the interstellar medium .

  6. Starscream - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starscream

    Starscream helps Shockwave clone two Predacons, Skylynx and Darksteel, as part of their plan to rebuild the Decepticon army, and is later witness with Shockwave to the arrival of Unicron (possessing Megatron's upgraded and resurrected body), who plans to destroy his brother Primus, who forms Cybertron's core.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypernova

    The first hypernova observed was SN 1998bw, with a luminosity 100 times higher than a standard Type Ib. [9] This supernova was the first to be associated with a gamma-ray burst (GRB) and it produced a shockwave containing an order of magnitude more energy than a normal supernova.

    During the battle in Chicago, Optimus kills some Decepticons, including the Driller, Shockwave, and Megatron before he kills Sentinel Prime. In the film, Optimus is depicted with a trailer similar to his Generation 1 counterpart, [1] and has been redesigned to look more heroic. [2] The trailer contains enhanced weapons and flight gear.
