Nothing else has been detected within 20 km in the last 24 hours.

This alert expired on 24 May 2026 at 06:30 UTC. It is kept here as a record.

It is the 2nd strongest of the 9 detections recorded within 20 km of this point since 8 May 2026. Another comparable one was recorded here earlier the same day. One more was recorded here in the fortnight before it.
