Brutal represión en Ecuador por parte del ultraderechista Noboa con 3 asesinados en el Paro Nacional. Ayuso lo apoyó en campaña electoral y le impuso la Medalla de Madrid. Silencio mediático en España.

I recently visited the ALMA observatory in Chile. While I was poking around the telescopes, ALMA researchers released amazing new views of planet-forming disks around young stars.
