On 25 February 2018 a major earthquake occurred in New Guinea, P.N.G. at a depth of 30 km. The seismic event occurred at 17:44:44 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 7.5.
A series of no less than six planetary alignments on the 21 and 25 February 2018 preceded the earthquake, all of which were significant. Major seismic activity could have occurred with or after the lunar peaks from the 22nd to the 24th, but it did not happen until after the Moon lined up with Mars on the 24th.
