"For anyone using the USNO Julian Date converter at https://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/JulianDate there's an error in the date format specification that may not be quite as obvious in the first 12 days of the month"
Awful. They can't even get their trivial tools working right. I don't trust a damn thing coming out of the US Naval Observatory's Astronomical Application's division anymore. It's not merely amateur hour work. It's incompetent.
