Mw 6.1 Vanuatu

updated 27 September 2023

report

On 21 September 2023 a strong earthquake occurred at Vanuatu at a depth of 188 km. The seismic event occurred at 21:11:49 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 6.1.

The estimated primary trigger of this seismic event is a convergence of planetary conjunctions on 19 September 2023.

On 19 September two planetary conjunctions converged involving Mercury and also Earth. The first conjunction was with the Sun, Mercury and Uranus at 9:10 UTC. The second conjunction with the Sun, Earth and Neptune occurred less than two hours later. This planetary geometry converged with a lunar conjunction with Jupiter at 09:30 UTC. Anticipated larger seismic activity, potentially reaching higher 6 magnitude, did not occur. Instead, a significant clustering of nine stronger (M ≥ 5.6) earthquakes occurred from the 19th to the 21st.
