updated 5 October 2023

report

On 28 September 2023 a strong earthquake occurred at Vanuatu at a depth of 126 km. The seismic event occurred at 14:40:26 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 6.0.

The estimated primary trigger of this seismic event is a lunar conjunction with Saturn on 27 September 2023

A lunar conjunction with Saturn early on 27 September was preceded by and converged with some critical planetary geometry from 25 to 27 September. This geometry resulted in a clustering of stronger earthquakes (≥ 5.6) from 26 to 28 September, peaking Mw 6.0 at Vanuatu.
