Northridge Quake

[Jim Eshelman]

Tomorrow is the 30th anniversary of the Northridge earthquake, which occurred:
January 17, 1994, 4:30:55 AM PST, Reseda, CA at 34N12'47" 118W32'13"

The mostly partile triple conjunction of Mars, Uranus, and Neptune caught people's eye, but the one real star chart was the "chart of the week." Because the recent Caplunar was dormant, the prevailing lunar ingress was the Liblunar that occurred January 5, 1994, 9:24:37 AM PST:

2°04' Aqu - Liblunar Asc
2°33' Sco - Pluto
2v48' Aqu - Saturn

That, and a 2°48' Moon-Uranus square, were the whole chart.

If you want to work up all the ingresses, the CapQ also brought a fitting climax to the event (which I remember vividly).
