"AURORAS AND A FIREBALL: On Sept. 11th, Alex Conu went outdoors to photograph auroras over the Lofoten Islands of Norway. He got more than he bargained for. "BAM!" he says. "This -8 magnitude fireball streaked across the sky."

The fireball won't be back tonight, Sept. 12th, but the auroras might. Earth is passing through a stream of solar wind filled with negative polarity (-Bz) magnetic fields. Such a solar wind stream can penetrate our planet's magnetic defenses, sparking geomagnetic storms and auroras."

S. Korea still presumed safe from major earthquakes: experts

On Monday, a record-breaking earthquake was detected in the southern region near Gyeongju, which lies 371 kilometers southeast of Seoul. South Korea's meteorological agency said the 5.8-magnitude earthquake was strong enough to be felt throughout most parts of the country, even causing some people to evacuate buildings.
"The latest earthquake seems to be linked to the massive quake that struck Japan in March 2011," said Chi Heon-cheol, a researcher at Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) said, adding there has been a series of aftershocks of that major earthquake not only in the island nation but around the Korean Peninsula.

Expert Warns of Stronger Earthquakes in Korea

The Korean Peninsula is seismically more stable than Japan and China but nuclear power plants should be made more earthquake-resistant since tremors of a 6.5-7 magnitude cannot be ruled out, an expert said Wednesday.
Records from the Koryo and Chosun dynasties say that buildings and structures in Gyeongju and Ulsan collapsed as the ground in the southeastern part of the country cracked. Geological surveys found traces of active faults, which could trigger massive quakes east of Gyeongju. "Analysis of past records reveals that there were earthquakes that may have had a magnitude between 6.5 and 7 by our standards," Chi added.

Notice the cluster of small quakes in Western Turkey? A couple in Central Turkey. Pretty steady. Wondering if this is leading up to something bigger?
