It feels like autumn before summer has even started, the buckets of rain bringing out an amazing crop of field mushrooms, standing out white and fat among lush tall grass. And the stiff winds have strewn young helicopter seeds of sycamores over the ground, along with leaves, twigs and branches.
To lighten the gloom, buttercups are out in great golden carpets, their yellow flowers supposed to glow under children's chins if they like butter. The yellow sparkle of buttercup flowers comes from light bouncing off pockets of air just under the surface cells of the petals, shining out like a glass mirror to attract bees, although they see ultraviolet light invisible to us. Buttercups are far from popular on lawns and farmland fields though, and the worst offender is the creeping buttercup, which sends out shoots across the ground searching for new patches to put down roots and start a new plant. This rugged plant can withstand trampling, waterlogging and drought, and its seeds can stay viable in the soil for up to 80 years.
The cool, gloomy weather has held back many flowers, but there are now plenty of oxeye daisies swaying in the blustery winds with their big daisy-like flower heads. For pollinating insects brave enough to face the wild elements, there are also foxgloves, wild roses and red clover to visit, but with so little sunshine it will be a while before the white flowers of wild strawberries set into red fruits.

ALMA reveals constituent of a galaxy at 12.4 billion light-years away
An international research team, led by Associate Professor Tohru Nagao from Kyoto University, and including researchers from Japan and Europe, has observed a "submillimeter galaxy" located about 12.4 billion light-years away using ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array), and has successfully detected an emission line from nitrogen contained in that galaxy. -

23:25The Earth's grasslands and savannas are experiencing a major transformation as woody plants, such as trees and shrubs, have begun to dominate arid lands around the globe. While ecologists document this dramatic change in vegetation — considered by many to be desertification, or a deterioration of the environment — researchers at Arizona State University suggest these changes may not be completely detrimental.

23:25Imagery from NOAA's GOES-13 satellite has shown some towering thunderstorms within the low pressure area called System 96L, located in the southern Gulf of Mexico. NASA continues to create the imagery from the GOES satellite and NASA satellites are also monitoring the developing low. If it does organize further and become a tropical storm over the weekend, it would be named "Debby."

23:25(Phys.org) -- The University of Hawaii today released the first image obtained using its new 16-megapixel HAWAII 4RG-15 (H4RG-15) image sensor on the UH 2.2-meter (88-inch) telescope on Mauna Kea. This represents a significant step forward in astronomical infrared technology because it is the first time a sensor with anywhere near this many infrared pixels has been trained on the sky.

Apple's App Store Launches In 32 New Nations
Apple told iOS and Mac developers Thursday that the iTunes App Store is now open for business in 32 additional countries in Asia and Africa as well as elsewhere overseas. As a result, customers in 155 nations around the globe now have access to more than 650,000 free and paid iOS apps from third-party developers.The latest countries to gain access to the Apple App Store -- such as Bhutan, Cambodia, Laos, Micronesia, Mongolia, Nepal and Papua New Guinea in Asia -- represent relatively small markets. Still, the expansion is one more step forward in Apple's implementation of its strategy for staying ahead of growing competition from rival mobile app vendors.
For example, the Amazon Appstore for Android-based mobile devices is slated to launch in five European nations this summer as well as go global in the near future. Facebook also represents another potential threat to mobile app store operators now that users of the social networking site can directly connect with mobile app developers from within Facebook.
"To mobile Web developers, Facebook is offering global discovery, distribution and targeting to 900 million active users, along with direct billing," noted London-based research firm VisionMobile.
Developer Support Is Crucial With Apple's newly announced iOS slated to ship with certain Facebook functions baked into it, however, it is clear that Apple views Facebook as offering it growth opportunities that outweigh any competitive disadvantages. According to ABI Research, Facebook integration with iOS 6 may prove to be good news for Apple and bad news for Google -- whereas the score for Facebook is expected to range from neutral to potentially negative.
"Apple will benefit because the iPhone's sharing capabilities will now better match those of Android-powered smartphones, from which posting a photo from the camera or an article from the browser directly to Facebook has...
