Both graphs are of the 5 year, 10 year, and 30 year bonds.

What "short-term" means is the period from June 2020 to present

Notice how the yields of the 3 bonds have converged.

while "long-term" means is the period October 1993 to present

Great one for seeing the secular drop in interest rates since 1993 (which started in 1982 or thereabouts)

All 3 graphs -- including the medium term one which covers June 2016 to present -- from here:
