Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is extremely low. An unspotted plage
region has rotated over the South East limb while the visible disk
remains devoid of spots. No significant X-ray flares have occurred
since the last message and no change in flare activity is expected
in the next 24-hour period. The Max Millennium Program continues to
support coordination of observations during the Parker Solar Probe
(PSP) 8th perihelion passage. The target stays on the Eastern edge
of the Northern hemisphere coronal hole that is the model-consensus
magnetic-footpoint location which PSP is co-rotating with.

The approximate position of this region on 3-May-2021 at 19:00 UT is:

N12W60 , ( 807", 229" )
