Not very original or exciting, but still the best I’ve seen so far.
Switzerland normally issues stamps four times a year, in March, May, September and November.
The 7 March issue this year contains:
200 years of boat trips on Lake Constance
100 years of the International Chess Federation
Some Special Event stamps
50 years of the first mission of the Swiss Humanitarian Aid Unit to Chad
There was also a stamp to celebrate the 175 years of Swiss Post, issued 21 March

I wonder if these will be as large as the statue ones
Based on the photos provided, I would speculate that the stamps will be the same size as the $1 Statue of Freedom stamps, which is also the same size as the Title IX Forever stamps issued in 2022, and the same size as the $2, $5, $10 and upcoming $1 Floral Geometry stamps. I will post an update here with the exact size when the USPS makes the official “stamp announcement”

Yes, that certainly makes sense, I like the stamps, they are just a bit large for postcards!

Canada Post’s total solar eclipse stamp, released just in time for the April 08 event. Look closely, and you can see Niagara Falls below the sun. Over a million people flocked to Niagara Falls, Canada, to see the eclipse.

No need to speculate; the product specifications for the $1 Floral Geometry stamp are available via USPS’s online store.
Overall per-stamp dimensions are listed there as 1.56″×1.225″—the exact same as those of its predecessor, the $1 Statue of Freedom.
Oops I missed seeing which topic the reply was for and thought they were asking about the size of the Hank Aaron stamps

No. 3233. Cosmonautics Day
In the Russian Federation, Cosmonautics Day is celebrated annually on April 12, established “to commemorate the world’s first flight of a Soviet man into space” (decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated April 9, 1962). Cosmonautics Day (celebrated as World Aviation and Cosmonautics Day) received international status in 1968 at a conference of the International Aeronautical Federation.
On Cosmonautics Day, festive events are held in all Russian regions, exhibitions and excursions, festivals and concerts, and children’s creativity competitions are organized.
The postage stamp depicts a portrait of K.E. Tsiolkovsky and the Angara-A5 launch vehicle taking off against the background of the starry sky.

A stamp to be issued on 30th May.
The Raft of the Medusa is an oil painting by Théodore Géricault. It depicts the aftermath of the wreck of the French naval frigate Méduse on 1816. 147 people were set adrift on a hurriedly constructed raft; all but 15 died. The painting can be seen at the Louvre Museum.
