@serac I enjoyed reading that link, thanks!

When you are driving through the mountains of #Switzerland obviously one of the highlights is …. a 3D printed concrete version of the white tower of Minas Tirith!

Looking over my photos from the Golden Gala in #Rome of #diamondleague #athletics I find that the audience reaction is sometimes even more entertaining than the actual #sport achievement involved!

Italian pole vaulter crosses the bar with spectators looking on.

A fun evening at the Golden Gala in #Rome watching #diamondleague #athletics and taking lots of photos. #Tamberi started his comeback attempt, #Chebet dominated her race, Italians loudly supported their athletes (and others) and there were some close races!

Different shots of Tamberi in action in his first competition since his injury

Chebet feeling very sprightly after easily winning her race shakes the hands of her wiped out competitors

Close race finish between two 1500m runners, Habz won

@bud_t yes, yesterday’s stage was amazing to watch!

@bud_t yes, way in the back of the peloton!

Nice view of Lake Como.
Oh yeah, and then a bunch of cyclists came flying by…

@wanderinghermit I only removed the trend

The SpaceX Dragon capsule that reentered the atmosphere on Saturday caused a sonic boom. I retrieved ground motion velocity data for seismometers throughout California & the N wave overpressure of the sonic boom generated a clear signal on most. Shown is an example.

East, North and vertical ground motion velocity time series for the re-entry of the SpaceX Dragon capsule recorded by a broadband seismometer in the Verdugo mountains, showing the N wave overpressure of the sonic boom. This is just an example, most Southern California seismometers show similar signals.

Woke up way too early, but was rewarded with this #sunrise 🌄

Watched F1 and F2 at Imola today, great fun!

Spent a lovely day at the Tuscan coastline, thinking we should rent a boat next time

Light blue sea with tree covered coastline and small sandy beaches

Beautiful #sunset last night, with dark/orange skies for hours

For more context on today’s M6.2 #earthquake in the Sea of Marmara, a figure from Bohnhoff et al. (2013) shows the major North Anatolian Fault Zone segments with potential future rupture scenarios and their associated magnitudes. Today’s quake is located near the center of the Marmara segment.

Major NAFZ fault segments in the Marmara and Izmit regions in northwestern Turkey (simplified). Two potential future rupture scenarios and their associated earthquake magnitudes are shown reflecting the activation of the Marmara segment of the NAFZ as one single (∼7.4 M) or multiple (∼7.0 M) events. Green, orange/red and brown lines mark major fault segments of the Ganos 1912, Izmit 1999 and Düzce 1999, M>7, rupture zones, respectively. The Marmara seismic gap between the Ganos and Izmit zones has not experienced a similar sized event since 1766. The numbers between segment boundaries are observed time delays between the initiations of slip on consecutive segments. Question marks indicate potential segment boundaries beneath the Sea of Marmara.

This event may have occurred on the Marmara fault segment of the North Anatolian Fault, thought to present a significant hazard to Istanbul.
