Recently, NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission made the first high-resolution measurements of an interplanetary shock.
About:
Interplanetary shocks are a type of collisionless shock — ones where particles transfer energy through electromagnetic fields instead of directly bouncing into one another.
These shocks, made of particles and electromagnetic waves, are launched by the Sun, which continually releases streams of charged particles called the solar wind.
These collisionless shocks are a phenomenon found throughout the universe, including in supernovae, black holes and distant stars.
