Howling southerlies and heavy rain marked the first day of summer in Gisborne yesterday. The whole country copped it with Wairoa under a heavy rain warning and lots of broken umbrellas in Wellington, said meteorologist April Clark. Ms Clark confirmed December 1 was the official meteorological first day of summer, with the astronomical first day of summer being around December 21 or 22 each year. But on day two of summer today, Gisborne woke up to a completely different day, she said. A northerly breeze and sun temporarily replaced the southerly, with the fine weather expected to stretch into tomorrow. “It is all very changeable at the moment. It doesn’t seem very summer- like but it is heading that way towards the end of the month.Temperatures are looking average for Gisborne with a high of 19 today jumping to 25 tomorrow before the southerly kicks back in tomorrow night,” she said. Out working in the elements yesterday were Gisborne Herald photographer Rebecca Grunwell, pictured by Liam Clayton.

CANBERRA — Australian scientists say they have mapped a million new galaxies using an advanced telescope in the desert. The CSIRO, the national science agency, said its new telescope had created “a new atlas of the universe” in record time — showing unprecedented detail. It mapped three million galaxies in total, with pictures revealing twice the level of detail of previous surveys, the study said. Astronomers hope the images will lead to new discoveries about the universe. The CSIRO said the mapping took just 300 hours, whereas previous all-sky surveys had taken years. With the data publicly available, scientists around the world would be able to study “everything from star formation to how galaxies and their super-massive black hole evolve and interact”, said lead author Dr David McConnell. “We expect to find tens of millions of new galaxies in future surveys,” he added. The initial results were published on Tuesday in the Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia.
