More on planetary positions and tectonic stresses imposed by Tidal Pumping from positions of all major celestial bodies from the Sun out to Jupiter. The source of the image is Fourmilab.ch (Switzerland), a wonderful site for a host of Scientific disciplines.

Drill down from Fourmilab main page to : "Astronomy and Space” —> "Solar System Live” —> "entire Solar System”. Default display is "Icons”. I find it easier to select "Images”. Then you can input your date.

This chart displays the Images on Jan. 4, 2025 when the Earth is at its Perihelion (the Earth’s closest approach to the Sun). This the annual event of maximum Tidal Pumping & tectonic stresses.

All predictions for later in 2024 is a shift from El Niño back to La Niña conditions. Expect higher incidence of Atlantic hurricanes and dry conditions for California & the U.S. Southwest.

The planet images are identitied with:

Sun = yellow
Venus = white
Mars = red
Mercury = grey

Earth - a mottled green/blue, hidden behind Mars

Jupiter = stripes of orange/white

The configuration shows Jupiter in opposition to the Sun & Venus. That is, Jupiter pulling in one direction with the Sun and Venus pulling in the other way. Mars should have a minor effect. It will be curious to see the impact on our tectonics and submarine heat release in the S. Pacific.
