Russia's warships conduct drills in Sea of Japan, TASS reports
The Russian Navy guided missile cruiser Varyag (R) arrives for the Chinese-Russian joint naval exercise, near a guided missile destroyer Changchun (DDG150) of Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy, at Dagang port, in Qingdao, Shandong province, China April 29, 2019. (REUTERS) Russian warships and coastal missile systems struck simulated maritime targets with cruise missiles during exercises in the Sea of Japan, TASS state news agency reported on Monday, citing Russia's defense ministry. The ships and missiles systems, all part of Russia's Pacific Fleet forces, 'carried out a joint missile strike against a complex target setup in the Sea of Japan, simulating enemy ships,' TASS cited the ministry's statement as saying. 'All targets were successfully hit.' The Fleet's flagship, the Varyag Guards missile cruiser, carried out a live launch of a Vulkan anti-ship cruise missile, and two missile boat strike groups attacked targets with four Moskit cruise missiles, TASS reported. The combat crew of the Bastion coastal missile system launched an Onyx anti-ship missile, it said. The missile firing zone had been closed in advance to civilian shipping and air traffic, the agency reported.

How the dance of death stars puts a new spin on the way suns are born
Some stars nearing the end of their lives slow their spin in a 'retirement solo' that not only shows the end is nigh but also how others are born. Advertisement Chinese astronomers have used this cosmic dance to look into the Milky Way's past and find that stars born today spin much faster than those formed billions of years ago. Using data from Europe's Gaia space telescope and other sky surveys, researchers at the Changchun Observatory in northeastern China studied thousands of stars, each with a mass roughly 1½ times that of the sun. They found that as the Milky Way evolved, newly formed stars began spinning up to 10 times faster than their much older counterparts. That extra spin causes gas clouds to break into smaller fragments, making it harder for massive stars to take shape. The study, accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal, presents the first direct evidence that the galaxy's star-forming clouds have grown more turbulent over time. Advertisement 'Our study shows that the angular momentum of stars in a certain mass range holds key clues to the Milky Way's history,' the team said in a statement on the observatory's website. 'It offers a new way to study how the galaxy has changed over time.'
