Mw 6.7 Macquarie Island Region

updated 13 March 2024

report

On 3 March 2024 a strong earthquake occurred at Macquarie Island Region at a depth of 10 km. The seismic event occurred at 16:16:57 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 6.7.

The estimated primary trigger of this seismic event is a convergence of planetary conjunctions on 28 February and a lunar conjunction on 1 March 2024.

On 28 February a quadruple conjunction occurred with the Sun, Mercury, Earth and Saturn resulting in four conjunctions. It was followed by a lunar conjunction with Jupiter on 1 March. The earthquake occurred just following a planetary conjunction with the Sun, Mercury and Neptune and a planetary right angle with Mercury involving Venus and Earth, which may have been a contributing factor.
