2021 September 22 Sun - solar surface in white-light, with AR12871, AR12782, AR12873 and possible AR12874, AR12875 and AR12786.

It seems NOAA is not catching up with the solar activity. New ARs AR12874 and AR12875 have been observed for more than 24 hours and yet NOAA has not assign a number.

AR12871 is located at (S27E32). 6 sunspots are visible. Both leading and following sunspots have penumbrae.
AR12872 is located at (N17E23). At least 7 sunspots are visible. The leading sunspot is split into small sunspots, and the following sunspot becomes much larger.
AR12873 is located at (N26W26). At least 8 sunspots are visible.
Meanwhile, 3 new active regions appear in the south:
The one located at (S25W17) comes with 4 sunspots. This may become AR12874.
To the SW, located at (S32W26), is another new AR with 5 sunspots. This may become AR12876.
Further to the west is another compact AR, located at (S25W43), with 3 small sunspots. This may become AR12875.
