Shock-compression experiments on liquids using a two-stage gun are described. Results for H{sub 2}, He, H{sub 2}O, N{sub 2}, CO{sub 2}, and a mixture of H{sub 2}O, NH{sub 3}, and C{sub 3}H{sub 8}O (synthetic Uranus) are discussed and related to explosive reaction products, giant planets, laser-driven fusion, and metallic hydrogen. {copyright} {ital 1998 American Institute of Physics.}
