Shit. USGS has this as a magnitude 8. Initial event depth is a 33 km, given the type of faults there this seems a bit unlikely (might be shallower).

Shaded relief maps of part of the Yellowstone Wildlife Area, Lafayette County, WI. Bare ground surface on the left, canopy surface on the right. From a lidar point cloud accessed through @opentopography.org

A shaded relief map of two valleys joining to form a larger valley in a dissected, bedrock controlled landscape of the Driftless Area. Meandering small stream channels, roads and trails, and gullied slopes are visible.

Same landscape as the other image but now the vegetation canopy covers parts of the landscape where there are trees, including on steep slopes and along streams.

New Horizons is now *three days away* from shutting off its two heliophysics instruments, simply because NASA has not provided the $2M in funding it had promised to the mission last year or this year. There is no science basis for shutting these off. Our earlier coverage:

Sure! Here you go. About 11,000 maps were commandeered by the Latvians. The stamps were printed in sheets of 228, 19x12. While the maps were German, most of the place names appear to be in Polish.

Used block of 4 Latvian stamps from 1918. Catalogue number Stanley Gibbons 16 / Scott 1 /Yvert & Tellier 1

And here is the back of the block with the map it's printed on. "Bojaryszki" would have been in Poland at the time, near what was Wilno and is now Vilnius in Lithuania. It's now called Bajoriškė.
