Mw 6.8 Kuril Islands

updated 13 February 2025

report

On 27 December 2024 a strong earthquake occurred at Kuril Islands at a depth of 149 km. The seismic event occurred at 12:47:37 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 6.8.

The estimated primary trigger of this seismic event is a convergence of critical planetary and lunar geometry on 25-26 December 2024.

On 25 December very tight (within 8 minutes) lunar semi-right angle geometry occurred with Jupiter and Saturn. It converged with a planetary conjunction with Mercury, the Sun and Neptune. A day later Earth was in a conjunction with Mercury and Jupiter. The planetary conjunction with Mercury, the Sun and Saturn may have been effective as both Jupiter and Saturn were involved in the critical lunar geometry. The earthuake occurred hours after a lunar conjunction with Uranus.
