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 'Population 3 star (Pop III) candidate LAP1'

They formed early on, around 200 million years after the universe began. These stars are extremely rare because they died out long ago, although scientists have hoped that the faint light from these distant, ancient objects would be detectable. Previous Population III candidates have been ruled out because they didn't meet the three main...
