The Pace of the Solo Southward Phase Suddenly Shifts
The interval from May 26 (5th) to June 15 (6th) was about 20 days, following high-frequency intervals of 1-6 days from April 25 to May 7 (1st-4th), and about a 19-day interval from May 7 (4th) to May 26 (5th). But the interval from June 15 (6th) to June 17 (7th) shrank dramatically to about 36 hours — a change that looks like a return to the high-frequency mode seen in the early part of the series.
| Interval | Gap |
|---|---|
| 1st → 2nd | ~6 days |
| 2nd → 3rd | ~6 hours |
| 3rd → 4th | ~6 days |
| 4th → 5th | ~19 days |
| 5th → 6th | ~20 days |
| 6th → 7th | ~36 hours |
Longitude Unchanged, North-South-Only Movement Continues
The latitude just before the first southward shift at 11:29 AM on April 25 was 34.7123975, and as of 9:00 AM today it stands at 34.7123905 — a cumulative southward shift of -0.000007 degrees (about 77cm). The longitude, 135.5284081, has not changed even once since April 25, and the fine adjustments have continued in the north-south direction only across all 7 instances.
Editor's Note
Just 36 hours between the 6th and 7th shift is basically runaway mode at this point. The '3-week pace' theory collapsed instantly, and at this rate the cumulative 77cm might hit a full meter before anyone even notices.
