Mw 7.7 Gujarat, India

updated 20 January 2023

report

On 26 January 2001 a major earthquake occurred in Gujarat, India at a depth of 16 km. The seismic event occurred at 03:16:40 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 7.7.

The estimated primary trigger of this seismic event is a convergence of critical planetary and lunar geometry from 21 to 26 January 2001.

Two planetary conjunctions on 21-22 January converged with critical lunar geometry involving Mars and Saturn due to Earth's close proximity to the Mars-Saturn line. A lunar conjunction with the Sun (New Moon) on 24 January was followed a few hours later by a lunar conjunction with Neptune and the Earth-Sun-Neptune conjunction occurred early on the 26th, at the time of the earthquake. In addition, critical lunar geometry involving Mars and Saturn, which is related to the geometry on 21-22 January, also occurred on 25-26 January.
