Nothing else has been detected within 20 km in the last 24 hours.
This alert expired on 17 May 2026 at 19:00 UTC. It is kept here as a record.
No stronger detection stands among the 46 recorded within 20 km of this point since 15 March 2026 — 10 others scored the same. Another comparable one was recorded here earlier the same day. One more was recorded here in the fortnight before it.
