With the great American eclipse approaching on August 21, I thought I would post on a curiosity related to the annular eclipse over Africa on September 1 2016. My hypothesis relates to seismic activity being instigated indirectly by contact with the terminator zones. It is interesting to see what effect this has, when extra zones are added to the equation.

First we need a preparatory felt pen dot on the Day and Night map of timeanddate.com – to do this, input March 8 2017 at 10:12 UTC and place a dot in the centre of the sun image. If you advance the time by 1 hour, the dot should be located in the bottom Southwest corner of Burundi (the lower of the two small countries West of Tanzania). Now change the time and date to September 1, 06:46 UTC, the outer edge of the eclipse shadow is now in contact with the dot, and at this time the following is occurring…

Dawn on co-ordinates 30.86’W – 55.34’S South Sandwich Islands Region
Sunset on co-ordinates 158.71’E – 54.67’S Macquarie Islands Region
Sunset on co-ordinates 167.47’E – 15.94’S Vanuatu
Dusk on co-ordinates 175.05’W – 18.12’S Tonga Region

Change the time to 08:30 UTC, the eclipse umbra is in contact with the dot and it is…

Dusk on co-ordinates 159.15’E – 9.36’S Solomon Islands Region

Finally, changing the time to 10:24 UTC, brings the eclipse shadow into last contact with the dot, and it is…

Dawn on co-ordinates 86.65’W – 12.35’N Nicaragua
Dusk on co-ordinates 142.13’E – 30.49’N Izu Islands Region, Japan

The resulting effect of three separate eclipse contacts with one location are as follows…

2016-09-02 01:57:50 UTC – M 5.5 South Sandwich Island Region … 30.86’W – 55.34’S
2016-09-08 21:46:20 UTC – M 6.1 Macquarie Islands Region … 158.71’E – 54.67’S
2016-09-17 02:31:59 UTC – M 5.8 Vanuatu … 167.47’E – 15.94’S
2016-09-24 21:07:12 UTC – M 6.4 Tonga Region … 175.05’W – 18.12’S
2016-09-14 07:25:00 UTC – M 6.0 Solomon Islands … 159.15’E – 9.36’S
2016-09-20 16:21:16 UTC – M 6.1 Izu Islands Region, Japan … 142.13’E – 30.49’N
2016-09-15 05:57:24 UTC – M 5.7 Nicaragua … 86.65’W – 12.35’N

One local event situated close to the epicentre of the eclipse, was a 5.7 on co-ordinates 31.55’E – 1.06’S Lake Victoria Region, Tanzania on September 10, at 12:27:28 UTC. Lake Victoria was also on the last shadow contact point at 10:24 UTC.

With this scenario in mind… placing an eclipse cross on Sonora, Mexico may not be such a bad idea after all 🙂

Apologies, works better if you change the first eclipse time to September 1 “2016” 06:46 UTC… age related mistake 🙂

2016-09-19 02:00:52 UTC – M 6.4 SE of Lambasa, Fiji … 178.850’W – 17.965’S

The details posted in my forum forecast for this event, relate to co-ordinates 179.520’E – 16.710’S (Lester: AUG 15 at 9:33 pm). The 6.4 event occurred 135 miles Southeast of my forecast co-ordinates… and unfortunately 49 hours before said forecast was due to begin. I am posting about it here because I tagged this prediction as a possible eclipse contact, relating it to the up coming great American eclipse on August 21. How does it connect… totality on August 21 is officially stated as occurring at 18:16 UTC. When I posted my forecast on the 15th, Sunrise in Natewa Bay on the co-ordinates stated occurred at 18:20 UTC… Sunrise on the 6.4 epicentre was 18:19 UTC. On the 21st, Sunrise in Natewa Bay occurs at 18:16 UTC, this is the time my correlation was based on… Sunrise today (19th) occurs on the 6.4 epicentre at 18:16 UTC !! The most likely scenario now is that another high mag event will probably not occur in my time window, and the location itself will retain energy and possibly act as a hub (footprint). However, the depth of 538.6 km’s at which this event occurred suggests that we have not heard the last from this region!

Apologies… the last location posted as Solar Noon Southern Peru, should read as Dusk

The day will come when I shall complete a post without making any mistakes 🙂
