Reply to comment by UmbralRaptor in Hypothetical question by jd-sutton

Just a quick note - the JWST is 0.1 not 1.. Not sure if you used 0.1 in your calcs but typed 1 in the comment or your calcs are incorrect. Can you clarify? Thanks

The 1 is just a rule of thumb thing that comes out from how the parsec is (well, was) defined.

so 0.1 arcsec * 1/3.26 pc ~= 0.03 au
