Meanwhile the geniuses at the Seismological Society of America don’t bother giving us a clue as to what that would be on the richter scale. Useless information to 99.99999% of people here on this planet.
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.”
