On 11 January 2023 a strong earthquake occurred at the southern East Pacific Rise at a depth of 10 km. The seismic event occurred at 16:47:46 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 6.0.
The estimated primary trigger of this seismic event is the lunar conjunction with Saturn on 10 January 2023.
On 10 January 2023 a lunar conjunction with Saturn occurred hours before a Mercury-Venus-Saturn conjunction. A convergence of this planetary and lunar conjunction has the potential to trigger large seismic activity, depending on the stress levels in Earth's crust.
