Dear Collaborators,

The Max Millennium Program now ceases its support of the coordination of
observations for the PSP 7th perihelion passage. PSP is expected to cross
the Heliospheric Current Sheet once again in the next few hours, with its
model-consensus magnetic-footpoint jumping to beyond the West limb as seen
from Earth.

The level of solar activity is very low. NOAA 12797 has neither grown nor
decayed significantly since the last message and this region was classed
as a beta/C-type sunspot group at the start of the UT day, but the spots
in its trailing polarity flux may be developing penumbrae. NOAA 12797 did
produce some B-class activity in the past 24 hours as well as a C1.0 flare
on 19-Jan-2021 at 17:46 UT. Additional C-class activity is possible in the
following 24-hour period.

The position of NOAA 12797 on 19-Jan-2021 at 23:30 UT is:

S17E54 , ( -756", -236" )
