Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is extremely low. The visible solar disk
remains free of spots, and no significant flares have occurred since
the last message. No change in flaring activity is expected over the
next 24-hour period. The Max Millennium Program continues to support
the 8th perihelion passage of Parker Solar Probe (PSP). The target
is still the Northern polar coronal hole that is the model-consensus
magnetic-footpoint location of PSP.

The approximate position of this region on 5-May-2021 at 23:00 UT is:

N53W72 , ( 544", 769" )

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

for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Regards,

Shaun Bloomfield (Northumbria University)
