Mw 6.9 Solomon Islands

updated 26 September 2024

report

On 22 May 2015 a strong earthquake occurred at Solomon Islands at a depth of 10 km. The seismic event occurred at 21:45:18 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 6.9.

The estimated primary trigger of this seismic event is a convergence of lunar geometry on 21-22 May 2015.

On 21 and 22 May opposing lunar semi-right angle geometry occurred with Mars and Saturn. This geometry is the result of Earth's conjunction with both planets on 15 May. Earth's proximity to the Mars-Saturn vector already resulted in critical lunar geometry with both planets on 15 and 18 May, after which strong earthquakes occurred on 19 and 20 May. On 22 May additional lunar semi-right angle geometry occurred with Mars and Neptune.

A second strong earthquake occurred two hours later.
