Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a very low level. NOAA regions 12818, 12820 and
12821 have all continued to decay since the last message. Both NOAA
12820 and 12821 have produced flare activity since the last message,
but no increase in flare activity is expected over the following 24
hours. The Max Millennium Program will continue to support the 8th
perihelion passage of Parker Solar Probe (PSP). The model-consensus
magnetic-footpoint location of PSP that is our target remains on the
edge of the coronal hole that is close to disk centre.

The approximate position of this region on 30-Apr-2021 at 21:00 UT is:

S16W07 , ( 112", -196" )
