It is my excerpting to which you are taking excpetion. Elsewhere in the article:
“The seismometer placed on Mars by NASA’s InSight lander has recorded its two largest seismic events to date: a magnitude 4.2 and a magnitude 4.1 marsquake. The pair are the first recorded events to occur on the planet’s far side from the lander and are five times stronger than the previous largest event recorded.”
Silly me. I scanned the article and did a Ctrl+F search for “richter” LOL. Didn’t think to look for seismic.
So basically, it’s like living in California though I haven’t heard much about seismic activity in Cali lately. Maybe it’s just so normal, no one thinks or talks about it?
