Russia recently deployed first ‘Avangard’ Hypersonic missile in its defence system. This hypersonic missile can fly 20 times faster than the speed of sound (33,000 km/h). According to Vladimir Putin, it can’t be caught by any radar or defence system due to its technology and speed.
Greece and Italy will sign an agreement on maritime boundaries during a visit of Italian Foreign Minister to Athens on June 9, 2020. The deal follows months of tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean region over natural resources.
The deal is “an important development” and shows Greece’s constant goal is to delimit maritime zones with all its neighbors, with valid agreements that adhere to international law — unlike Turkey’s agreement with Libya, Greek Foreign Minister Nikolaos Dendias said in Athens, following the signing of the accord with his Italian counterpart Luigi Di Maio.
The agreement is an extension of a 1977 accord and opens the way for Greece and Italy to issue licenses for the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbon resources. The deal also paves the way for Greece to reach a similar deal with neighboring Albania.
The agreement comes amid tensions in the eastern Mediterranean over natural resources. The region has become an energy hot spot with big finds for EU member Cyprus, as well as for Israel and Egypt in recent years, and Turkey’s push to secure a of the resources in those waters has been seen as exacerbating strains in an already tumultuous region.
Titan Is Drifting Away From Saturn 100 Times Faster Than Scientists Expected. Saturn’s Moon Titan Drifting Away Faster Than Previously Thought. Larger than the planet Mercury, huge moon Titan is seen here as it orbits Saturn.
astronomers have found something really surprising: Titan’s outward migration is faster than expected – about 100 times faster.
This suggests that the peculiar moon formed much closer to the planet during the birth of the Solar System 4.5 billion years ago, and in the intervening years has migrated out to a distance of around 1.2 million kilometres (746,000 miles) from the planet.
