About the #JWSTCycle2 program of observations, there are only 5 proposals selected in the "Large Scale Structure of the Universe" category π
Tully+ got the larger time allocation!
Also, looking very much forward this Scrutiny of the Dirtiest Cepheids...

Congratulations to Brent Tully and co-investigators for getting observing time on the JWST!
NIRCam targets: 14 elliptical galaxies to study the connection between TRGB and SBF distance scales and improve the accuracy on the Hubble Constant.

Confused by lots of #JWSTCycle2 comments about #Quintiles. I didn't know #JWST was being used for #astrology...
So did anyone actually get #JWSTCycle2 time or was everyone rejected flat out?
(I have many, many sad astro friends right now.)
Strength: this is a unique opportunity to test X.
Weakness: we are not convinced it will add much to our understanding of X.
Me: I am sorry, what?!?!?! π€―
Aaaaand there's a rejection.
I went 4/4 last year, and had 2 successes before a rejection came in this year. I don't know if it's an unbeatable record, but, especially considering it started in Cycle 1, temporarily going 6-for-6 was a pretty great start. #JWSTCycle2
