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 http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
