Beta-Gamma-Delta classified Active Region 1875 delivered short duration M1.0 solar flare on October 22, 2013 at 00:22 UTC. The event started at 00:14 and ended at 00:28 UTC.
This region is now almost at the center of the disk, the perfect place to send CME's toward Earth. AR 1875 has potential to create major eruptions on the Sun.
There are currently 8 numbered sunspot regions on the disk.

1875 – Beta-Gamma-Delta
1877 – Beta
