Mw 7.9 Central California
report
On 9 January 1857 a major earthquake occurred in Central California. The seismic event occurred at 16:24 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 7.9.
The estimated primary trigger of this seismic event is a convergence of critical planetary and lunar geometry on 6 January 1857.
On 1 January 1857 two planetary conjunctions converged, most notably Mercury-Venus-Uranus and the planets remained in a near conjunction during the next week. On 5-6 January a near quadruple conjunction with the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Neptune converged with a lunar peak on 6 January due to critical lunar geometry involving Venus and Mars. Additional critical lunar geometry occurred on 8-9 January involving Neptune and Jupiter. Shortly after, at the lunar peak on 9 January the major earthquake occurred.
