Bitcoin block 5,917 was mined by Unknown on February 28, 2009 at 10:13 PM UTC, 25 min 25 s after block 5,916. That is slower than the 10-minute target; long gaps are normal, since every hash attempt is an independent draw with the same tiny chance.

Block 5,917 is number 1,886 of 2,016 in difficulty epoch 2; 130 blocks remain until the next difficulty adjustment at block 6,047. The next halving is at block 210,000, 204,083 blocks after this one.
