Mw 6.0 Near East Coast of Honshu, Japan
updated 30 November 2022

On 22 May 2022 a strong earthquake occurred near the East coast of Honsu, Japan at a depth of 28 km. The seismic event occurred at 15:17:33 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 6.0.

Following the critical planetary geometry from 16 to 18 May, which resulted in a strong earthquake on the 19th, a convergence of four conjunctions on 20-21 May had the potential of triggering a major seismic event. A grouping of strong earthquakes occurred on 21-22 May. Larger seismic activity occurred after the high lunar peak on 24-25 May, peaking Mw 7.2 in Southern Peru.
