USGS EVENT
Time and Date = 2023-11-27 21:46:41 (UTC)
Location = 3.571°S 144.042°E
Depth = 8.0 km depth
Geomagnetic Location Polarity = RED-2
Location = 3.571°S 144.042°E
Depth = 8.0 km depth
Geomagnetic Location Polarity = RED-2
Lunar Resonant Drivers = Sun @ Lunar Opposition, Saturn @ Lunar Elongation, Mars @ Geocentric Conjunction to the Sun
Combinational Drivers = Uranus @ 150 degrees from the Sun, Neptune @ 120 degrees from the Sun
Magnetic Disposition of Drivers
- Sun Positive (LOW)
- Saturn Positive (LOW)
- Uranus Neutral (LOW)
- Neptune Negative
- Mars (Para-Magnetic) Neutral (LOW)
Magnitude Calculation
Saturn + Uranus + Neptune + Sun + Mars = 7.5m
Minus Attenuation from Incoming CME(*2) = 7.5m to 8.0m Possible
Recorded USGS Magnitude = 6.5m
NOTE: Incoming CME had 2 drivers in Geometry (-1.0m for each)
Sun/ Mars Conjunction @ Lunar Opposition
(IF THERE WAS NO CME EVENT WOULD HAVE BEEN A 7.5M/8.0M)
