Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is extremely low. There continue to be no sunspots
on the visible solar disk and STEREO-A images confirm that there are no active
regions situated beyond the Earth-viewed East limb. No significant flares have
occurred since the last message, and no change in flaring activity is expected
in the following 24 hours. The Max Millennium Program continues supporting the
7th perihelion passage of PSP by choosing our target to be the model-consensus
magnetic-footpoint location of PSP, which has recently rotated over the North
East limb.

The approximate position of this region on 9-Jan-2021 at 22:00 UT is:

N35E76 , ( -776", 572" )

See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and

Regards,

Shaun Bloomfield (Northumbria University)
