 * Calculations:**

The distance between the earthquake and the LIGO center is 11541.4749 km. I think that this is a record of the earthquake on June 1, 2005 at 19:47:30.89. I calculated the time that it should take for the earthquake to get to register in Hanford, by using the p-waves since the quake occured in water. It should have occurred between 24 and 38 minutes before it showed up in Hanford because p-waves travel about 5-8 kilometers per second. This means that this is the same earthquake, because it happened at 19:47 which is about 37 minutes before it registers on this graph at around 20:25. This would fit in the time bracket perfectly, which is why I think that I found the correct earthquake here.
