The discussion seeks an estimate of how many astronomers utilize raw data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) for comparison with data from other telescopes, such as Hubble. Participants suggest referencing Hubble's usage statistics as a benchmark. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding JWST's impact on the astronomical community. There is an emphasis on the need for concrete figures to facilitate comparisons across different astronomical data sources. Accurate estimates are crucial for evaluating the significance of JWST in current astronomical research.

How about using the estimates for Hubble from the Hubble site?
 

Thread 'Lunar Orbit Issues & Lunar Clocks'

The clock face shows twelve images of the Moon in all its main phases, with the Full Moon depicted at the "twelve o'clock" position. Now I purchased this clock especially early to allow time to check on its accuracy. After waiting for a full lunar orbit to occur, I have since discovered that the clock time when measured relative to its lunar images (that's to...
