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" )
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.
