Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at an extremely low level. NOAA region 12820 has
now rotated over South West limb while NOAA 12818 decayed to plage
before also rotating over the same limb. No flares have occurred
since the last message and no change in flare activity is expected
over the following 24 hours. The Max Millennium Program continues
supporting the 8th perihelion passage of Parker Solar Probe (PSP)
by the target remaining as the model-consensus magnetic-footpoint
location of PSP, the Eastern edge of the Northern hemisphere low-
latitude coronal hole.

The approximate position of this region on 2-May-2021 at 18:00 UT is:

N11W48 , ( 696", 225" )

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