# Context We all know that there is relationship between tides and Moon. What if we try to find the match between the position of objects in our Solar System and Earthquakes? So I prepared the dataset to answer the question. # Content The dataset has information about Earthquakes (magnitude 6.1+) occur between yyyy.mm.dd: 1986.05.04 to 2016.05.04 and position (and other params) of Solar System planets + Sun and Moon at the time when the specific Earthquake occured Each row has: 1) info about the specific Earthquake: date and time, where it occur: latitude and longitude, magnitude, place (it is useless field since we have latitude and longitude but I left the filed just to have humanreading meaning e.g. 7km SW of Ueki, Japan) 2) Planets, Moon and Sun information (position and etc) relatively latitude and longitude of place and time of the Earthquake. # Acknowledgements Tha dataset has two sources of information. Both ones are free and available for public. 1) Earthquakes info: The USGS Earthquake Hazards Program [https://earthquake.usgs.gov/][1] 2) Solar System objects info: NGINOV Astropositions: [http://api.nginov][2] note: NGINOV uses a bit specific calculation of azimuth (as far as i know more often the one calculates from geographicall north). The note from NGINOV: "An astronomical azimuth is expressed in degree or schedules arcs. Taking as a reference point, geographically south of the place of observation and a dextrorotatory angular progression." note: I am not quite strong in Astronomic stuff. I expressed the idea about possible relationship and wrote a simple app to match and merge the info from two data sources into the dataset which possibly help to answer the question. # Inspiration May be there is a relationship between the position and other params of objects in our Solar System and Earthquakes? Hope someone will find the match! :) Good luck!! [1]: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/ [2]: http://api.nginov
