On 2 March 2023 a strong earthquake occurred at Vanuatu at a depth of 10 km. The seismic event occurred at 18:04:32 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 6.5.
The estimated primary trigger of this seismic event is a convergence of two planetary conjunctions on 1-2 March 2023.
A lunar conjunction with Mars on 28 February was followed by two planetary conjunctions on 1-2 March, the first of which also involved Mars. The first week of March 2023 was considered critical due to a convergence of planetary conjunctions around 2 March.
